About Me

Me, I get along with just about anybody. I've been doin sound for a livin since 1972, when I went to work for Michael Martin Murphy. What a grand adventure it has been. There isn't enough space here for me to even come close to tellin the whole story nor list my credits. Let's just say anyone really wants to know they will ask. More to come as I think about things..... Then brother Jaybo and I became Lone Star Sound.. Hooked up with Moon Hill Mgt in Austin and became very major players in the Texas music scene. B.W.Stevenson, Rusty Wier,Steven Fromholtz, The list is long and I don't mean to leave anyone out. Just got to remember every ones names. I landed the Willie Nelson acct and the Adventure grew really big really fast. Blur. More to come...Worked with, mixed for almost every musician in my friends list plus many many more...
