I was the lead guitar player for the String-A-Longs in the late 1950s and early 1960s. We scored a major hit with a song I composed entitled "Wheels." After the String-A-Longs broke up, I continued to write and perform for a time with the Cobras, Jimmy Torres Trio and other entities But I "disappeared" after becoming disillusioned with the entertainment industry and many people in my life. But I always continued to write music and think of myself now primarily as a songwriter.
