About Me

I'm a married, Father of three beautiful girls. I am a Professional Drummer origanaly from Morgan City, La. I moved to Metairie, La. in 1970 and lived there until I was married to my wonderful wife Christi in 1987. We then moved to her home town of Chalmette, La. We enjoyed a very busy lifestyle until August 29, 2005.......Katrina, that BITCH! We now live the country life in Hammond, La. on 3 acres. I also have a Music Recording Studio, That I've named Hurricane Studios! I play music in the Metro New Orleans area. I was in the New Orleans based band, Pigpen and the Porkchops for the past 5 years until I needed back surgery and they fired me because I was taking too long to recover. My Family and my Music are the most important things in my life. And by the Grace of God I will be able to keep those two my priority. I am now working with Barriere Constuction helping run a new Gravel/Sand pit we're just opening, in Arcola, La. The future is lookin' good! I hope to see you in the crowd at a future Gig. I'll be the one behind the loud purple drums !!!!! . music layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments
