ABOUT

I am a solid, seasoned drummer with years of experience playing a variety of music including classic Rock & Roll ( 50's -90's), R&B, Funk, Soul, Pop, some Country or just about anything that is fun and danceable. I am wanting to meet and play with other more experienced musicians. I am always open to suggestions and ideas to make music better. There is so much good music not being covered. Please, no Hard Rock or Metal.
Played professionally in Dallas, TX for many years in groups ranging from trios (Piano, Bass & Drums / Guitar, Bass & Drums) to larger show bands playing everything from jazz to rock. I spent the majority of my time with 2 very popular bands in Dallas, TX named the "Nightcaps" and "Exotics". I started playing with the Nightcaps in the late sixties before I had a drivers license and stayed with the band on and off for over 30+ years. They had a very popular record and album out titled "Wine Wine Wine". The Nightcaps were well known in Texas and southeast. I was also playing and recording with another group in Dallas, when the Nightcaps were not scheduled, known as the Exotics. The Exotics were also a Dallas favorite. They had a regional hit titled "Hey Little Girl ". That song was on Nunsuch label, a division for Mercury Records. The band later signed with Monument and had more songs released "Come with Me", "Morning Sun"' "I Was Alone" and a few others . The Exotics spent the majority of their time performing in the Dallas, Houston & Austin, Texas areas along with bookings through out the southeast.
