About Me

I play guitar & write songs. Back in the later part of the 20th century I was in the Boston bands - KrebStar, The Meltaways & Miranda Warning. In the early 90s - Hangnail & Citizen Moorehead. Way back in the 80s (when I was very, very young) I was the Navy Blue Nuns. Before that I was in Vaudeville where I danced the 'ol softshoe. From 2001-2006 I sang in a Ramones Tribute band called The Gabba Gabba Heys here in LA. These days I'm playing in a band called Banquet Hall with three very talented dweebs named Paula Kelley, Todd Spahr & Randy Satz.(link to it below)
