Grew up listening and learning with buddies Greg Penney, Al Ross, and Chit Ricky..
First band, up in Santa Maria.."Love Special Delivery' we had one too many guitarists so we made Gilbert play his guitar with the last 4 strings and the bass turned up all the way...it worked.
Some good party jams in Santa Cruz with Ken Arconti, Patty Free, Alan Harris...later, down south, played bass and sang harmony with Stephen Rowe and the Dirty Cowboys, onstage with Anne McCue, Mike Stinson, Winfield Cheeks, Richard Martin Ross, Helen Henderson (go kiwi GO!!!), Mike Gormley, Brandon Matheson, Mike Starr, Jerry Wagers..
