They call me dad. I have 10 children. I married a woman who had 4 children from her first marriage. i was 21 she was 27. The kids were very young from 5 to 10 ages and we then had 5 more kids and picked up a foster child along the way.
Many called me coach. I was an active participant in all my childrens sports activites and therfore found myself coaching in many different sports. I coached, baseball for many years, softabll for a few, and hockey for 5. I was a scout leader even had a horse so my kids could experience that. Now I have 16 grandchildren and still counting
I finally got to become active in my own life after they grew up and music was my first choice.
I am self taught. Self taught in everything I do. I used music and the playing of instruments as my personal exscape tool and found out how passionate I was at it and thru hard work and effort, I now can say I am starting to become productive.
I was a street musician(busker) in Vancouver, Canada as a way to make extra food money. I then joined a band call Blue Manna with some very good musicians although I was still learning, I felt confortable to fill the gaps.
I now Live in Seattle due to finacial issues that keep me from returning to my family in Canada so here I sit trying to make my way thru this situation playing the harmonica and still having fun
