ABOUT
Hi, Everyone
The name is Gary, I was born in '61, and even though I remember key songs in those early days, it was 1968 when music literally exploded for me. Seriously! It was like over night.
A friend shared with me the Beatles: Rubber Soul & Sgt Pepper. At that point, I knew I wanted to be a musician.
Why the name: Sir Voodoo Watusi? It was a stage name given to me years back, and I have had fun with the name.

Oh and remember how I said music exploded for me in '68 with The Beatles?
