ABOUT
I have recently affiliated with a cover band and I’m not looking to move right now.
I made my living in traveling cover bands during the 70's. Later I did some recording for 2 years with an excellent originals 11-piece disco & ballads act that didn't make it. During that time I was also in a 13-piece jazz/funk originals act with horns that opened the show at the UC Jazz Festival in May1978, when Ella Fitzgerald was the headliner. I had an absolute ball with them.
I've never come to a gig or practice session drunk or high. And I don't smoke. I also have a pretty good sense of humor but I sometimes utter naughty words.
