I grew up on the mean streets of Yaphank, Long Island, New York. (Actually it was a very small, rural, farming and fishing community.) There I played music in various forms from church folk groups to rock, country and blues bands in clubs;
I lived in Arlington, Texas for a few years as a kid starting lifelong friendships that would continually bring me back to the Lone Star State;
Daytona Beach, Florida for a few more years as a twenty-something, playing in southern rock bands;
But always landed back on Long Island, until the live music scene there pretty much dried up in the mid-eighties.
I lived in Honolulu, Hawaii for a short time as a thirty-something playing with an Elvis impersonator/oldies band before finally and permanently landing in Texas (Austin, San Antonio, Gruene, New Braunfels) where I spent many years playing with country dance hall, blues and R&B bands before quitting all that to do my own thing.
The acoustic/singer/songwriter thing.
The only reason I'm writing this at all is because some folks seem to be interested and curious. It's been a long, strange trip and I've had crazy amounts of fun and shared stages with lots of famous and infamous people along the way, but who cares? Why am I not famous? Who cares! The only thing that actually matters is what's happening right now.
Right now I'm playing with my musical partner of some years, Kim Mackenzie.
I choose to live in San Antonio (not Austin) with my wonderful family and friends.
If you'd like to get a more personal history, pull up a chair, buy me a drink and we'll talk.
Cheers!
