I had been playing in live bands since 1967, ever since High School. I have played in clubs in the USA and, while working overseas, in Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Vietnam and, my favorite one of all, Iran. We played in Iran from 1970 to 1974, until the club we were playing in was fire bombed by some of Khomeini's rock 'n' roll hating thugs (Was it something we sang??). Anyway, around 1985, I got tired of the playing live and decided to start writing and recording my own songs. So, on and off, time and work permitting, I have been writing and recording my own 'music'. Like it or not, thanks for listening and I would appreciate any comments, pro or con. Remember, Sometimes the magic works......sometimes it doesn't.

Without a doubt.

Yes.
