About Me

Born in Los Angeles ... discovered The Beatles before they broke up ... fell in love with the drums ... ruled the Sunset Strip and The Bowery with 3 bands (CANDY - ELECTRIC ANGELS - THE LOVELESS) that were worth every amazing, agonizing, difficult, memorable and beautiful moment they existed (and how else would I have seen London, Paris, and Fayetteville, North Carolina?) ... moved to New Yawk City when it was still dangerous and affordable ... met some girls, lost all those same girls ... entered Fordham University (go Rams!) ... graduated in only 8 years! Class of 2006 / Artium Baccalaureatum ... entered again (I'm on a roll) in the School of Education ... student-taught the future leaders of America ... graduated in one year: Class of '07 (I think!?) / Master of Science in Teaching ... and now, like Dorothy's Scarecrow, I have a brain, "Oh Joy!" ... but, like Miss Peggy Lee wonders, "Is that all there is?" ___ well, to quote that most raucous of British bands: " ... love is blind, and you soon will find, you're just a boy again ...
