I made a living playing music all over the US and Canada, for several years. During that time, I had the opportunity to play with The Shirelles, The Coasters, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Lou Christie, The Platters, Danny and the Juniors, The 5th Dimension, and Gary US Bonds.
While I was on the road, I also had the opportunity to hang out with Joey Molland (Badfinger), Foghat, Reba, Marvin Gaye, Tom T. Hall, Ray Sawyer (Dr. Hook), Three Dog Night, Jan and Dean, Joey Dee, Al Rappa (Bill Haley's Comets) and Rare Earth, along with hundreds of other nice people (and 7 jerks). I just can't remember all their names right now.
Everything you hear (all the vocals and instruments) was played by me, and recorded on a beat up Fostex X-15 four track cassette recorder in a small apartment. They came out pretty well, considering what I had to work with. They're Good Housekeeping approved and everything! Everyone who hears them agrees: Way better than a kick in the pants!Your musical influences
Pop Rock from the 60's to the 80's, blues, countryWhat equipment do you use?
My 78 Strat, my Les Paul and my old Fender Twin are the mainstays of my sound.Anything else?
All my tunes are rich in flavor, with fewer calories. How'd I do that? Ancient chinese secret.ranch's station

Hey Jim !
I just noticed you added my latest tune "Solid Ground" to your station !
Man...I realy appreciated that ! You are the only one so far...hahaha !
Gave "Song for Cherry" a spin ! Suppose it is one of you present favorits cause it is on top of your list !
Good fun tune, with that classic rock feel we Europeans often tried to copy, but realy never succeeded !
Someday we gotta do a collab ! You are an excellent singer !
