Born on an icy day in a Houston, Tx. winter, I started piano lessons the summer of my 5th year & was soon writing simple songs. Next came harmonica, guitar & steel guitar. My interest in recording was also piqued about this time when my family got a serious early portable cassette recorder. Then at 16 I picked up electric bass. High school job was playing steel in a top 40 cover c&w band, been playing in a variety of bands ever since. Did my first work in somone else's studio in the mid '70s. Started playing clarinet & sax about '77. Worked in one of the 1st reggae bands in Austin, 'Lucky Roach' later to become 'The Lotions'(there was 1 other). Thus began a lifelong love of reggae. I had been big on Afro/Caribe 'fusion' since 'Osibisa' (very early '70s). I also work as a percussionist doing shaker, cowbell, woodblock, and various hand toys. I admit I'm totally hooked on the extreme joy of world beat/fusion. However, I do enjoy playing & writing in all styles. As I write this my car has died, but I normally work with several Austin bands and do a couple of free jazz improv free-for-alls a year. In addition, I run my own small studio(main room is only 24x24) that I started in 1988.
