In the 1970s when I got to LA I quickly changed from French horn to guitar and worked combos around LA. I soon signed up with Burke Dennis at Apogee Mgmt. (Olivia Newton John). I worked LA and went to college.
In 1978 I did a short gig on tour with the Association and then back in LA in 1979 I would get into the hottest dance band in town White Licorice ...with monster lead singer Joe Pizzulo (Never Gonna Let you Go Sergio Mendez). That learning experience lasted a year. During the 70's I also lived next to and worked many times with David Benoit and also worked with such great musicians as Doc Doolittle, Bill Breland and Budd Rude. LA is my lady!
In 1981 I would leave for Canada and the lucrative $1K a week playing single gigs. In 1983 I ended up in Bellevue, WA and went to work playing again mostly single gigs for the King Vac Agency. Except for a wonderful six month Hong Kong tour I stayed close to Seattle as I was raising 2 girls.
In 2004 I took my baby girl to ASU and in 2008 I signed up with Indie record company Colt Records in Nashville, Tennessee. I now live in Las Vegas, Nevada...and Im back to my real career!
I always knew I could do it the wheels just turn so slow. Thank you very much for reading this and listening to the records.
Yes just about anywhere they will pay me and I am now residing in Las Vegas
