After a 35 year hiatus, i began playing bass guitar again for the love of the music! Wow, i cannot believe the last time i played was in 1971! Well i called up my guitar buddy Doug, from our old band "SWEET MAMA" (kinda like the Blues Brothers movie) when Elwood calls up his old band members and said "i'm putting the band back to together, are ya in? Well here we are 2007, assembled a 6 piece, classic rock-n-roll band named "GARFISH" after my childhood nickname and gigging 1-2 times per month!

As a old wise man said to me in a cynical voice (and you know who you are) "You have got a lot of BALLS trying to start playing in a band again after being away from it all those years"! Well as the saying goes: "REST NOT! Life is sweeping by; Go and dare before you die! I did and having a great time performing in front of enthusiastic audiences! Rock On!
