I work mostly by myself these days, but I would love to find someone to collaborate with. I recorded ,played all the instruments on these recordings except the drums. I recently moved to Florida in Aug. of 23 and I am a retired Paramedic from California and worked the 911 system for a while then worked as a medic at the San Diego zoo for 7 years. I recorded these songs many years ago and played all the insturments except drums my wife sang the song "Quitten Time" and my daughter sang "Pissing in a river". I played bass in one band for 15 years and played in several other bands both on guitar and bass. hope you enjoy
Band/artist history
I was sitting on my front porch in Bakersfield playing my guitar, and my neighbor said, "Hey, you want to play some music ?" The next thing I knew I was playing bass in some of the seediest bars in Bakersfield. I moved to the Sierras and played with the same band for about 15 years called The Rattlers. We played fairs, clubs, weddings and bars from Bishop to Tonopah. Moved to San Diego area after that
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I live in Temecula CA. It's kinda an upper-desert region, ,hot in the summer and cold in the winter .I've played played bass with a few bands here but nothing serious here .
Your musical influences
Everything from the Beatles, Eagles, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Petty to Merle Haggard,Dwight Yoakam and Willie Nelson.
What equipment do you use?
I use a Martin acoustic guitar quite often. I also have a Fender acoustic, and a Telecaster I use on some songs. For recording I use a Tascam DP01-FX/CD. I really need a better keyboard, right now I'm using Casio WK-3000 and unfortunately, it sounds like it .
