About Me


Three of my most recent albums done in Canada are listed below.THE COMPLETE ALBUMS CAN BE HEARD ON THE WIDGETS JUST BELOW EACH ALBUM COVER.
Below is an album I produced in 1983. I was fronting the Bedlam Band when we recorded this in Fort Worth, Texas at Two Horse Sound.
Some of my history. In the music player above I am with the Bedlam Band in 1983 doing a 16 track analog album. In the picture below, that's me in the centre with shades at night, the Miller lite, and the white pants. Cheers !
Some more of my history in pictures: First the "Demensions" in 1960 (me on my 1959 Danelectro Bass down front )
Then the fabulous "Just Us Four" in 1963 (everyone is tagged )
Now some pictures with "Bedlam" in the studio
I've been a professional rock and blues musician/drummer for most of my life. In the studio, and on stage or on tour. Picked up my first guitar in 1957, formed my first band in 1958 and started playing everywhere I could. Started playing bass guitar in 1960 and then moved to drums in 1961. Wrote and recorded my first single in 1963 "Magic in Your Eyes" and "Take a Walk" with the fabulous "Just Us Four". I have been involved with many other recording projects and played with many different bands (some known - some unknown). I've played rock, classic rock, country rock, blues, jazz, and big band standards. After 50 years in the business, I'm still rockin'. Although, mostly into production/songwriter/composer stuff now. I have published music at BMI. and WestTex Publishing and some indy works. My poetry has been published, and I've also written a book.
