I am here for Friends

About Me

I started out as a Rawk&Roll, Monster luvin',drum playing Punk with a swagger...and I still am. I've been playing drums for the one & only Legendary Stardust Cowboy since '86 and through out the years I have had the right honourable pleasure of touring with, recording with or playing music with the likes of Ray Condo (R.I.P.), Deke Dickerson, Johnny Legend, the Forbidden Pigs, the Sugarking Boys, Bo Diddley, Robert Gordon, the Kingpins, the Boneshavers, Shockwaves, Rolan Bolan, C.C.Addcock,the Sloe Gin Joes and the list goes on & on... I'll borrow my parting shot from the great Langston Hughes "I play it cool and dig the jive that's the reason I stay alive. My motto as I live and learn is... dig and be dug in return."
