SEEKING

ABOUT

I don't remember a time in my life that I didn't love music. The very first song I can remember, was "Yesterday" at age 4 in my mom's kitchen in Brooklyn NY. It was at age 9 that I started to teach myself the drums on a 4 piece Pearl kit. My first band was at 11 years old, playing the drums at the neighborhood block party. The band (Big Blue Marble . . . how 70's was that!) entertained our non-paying neighbors, friends and family. I'm sure we weren't very good, but we thought we sounded like the Stones. Of coarse most of our audience were drunk, and could hardly stand, but they clapped great. I was hooked! Since that time I have been in many bands good, bad & ugly! Along the way I've learned to play the guitar. I'm not an expert, but I can hold my own as rythm.

My other passion is art. Schooled in graphic design and commercial art. Over the years, I have moved from media to media. Oil, Pastels, Sculpture (Ice & Sand), as well as pen and ink. These days I seem to spend most of my free time on family, work and music. I am hoping to live long enough to retire, and return to my art. But for now I dabble in computer graphics, photo restoration & favors.
