Endeavour 1995
I brought Endeavour to life in 1995 when I recorded 9 of my compositions to DAT. I finally made a CD master in 2002 complete with liner notes and artwork. For various reasons, Endeavour was dormant until 2007. Then, took another relatively brief haitus until the summer of 2009. Since then, I've been doing some serious work on new songs. I hope to have 8-10 new songs ready for the public sometime in the next 200 years. ;^)Band/artist history
To date, this band has had only one member . . . me. It is quite possible that I will collaborate with other musicians sometime down the road. I'm certainly open to that idea.Have you performed in front of an audience?Not at this time.

Recently, I have started to play drums. Well, electronic drums. I currently own a Yamaha YDD-60 kit. I am also considering learning to play left handed guitar. However, I have recently become more interested in learning to play a Chapman Stick because I am fascinated that it is a string instrument that can be played much like a keyboard.Admin
