| Favorite School Memory | The music, the cars and the times. We were first generation rockers. We had a hit movie and a hit TV series about us and we grew up in the best of times in America (If you were white and at least middle class). |
| About Me | After nine years in the Teamsters (drove for White Oak, Arute Bros. Tamasso and others) started playing bass in a blues band. Having played other instruments (accordion, trumpet in high school band) made it easier to pick up on things but after realizing some short comings auditioned for and was accepted by the Berklee College of Music. My only claim to fame is playing warm up for the Allman Brothers, blues great Freddy King, The Fabulous Rhinestones, Lydia Pence of Cold Blood and closing for Tower of Power., Played briefly with Quicksilver Messenger Service (couldn't get along with Dino Valenti then found out nobody could) and Elvin Bishop's side band and played with Elmo & Patsy (Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer) when they lived in Sausalito. I've jammed with Country Joe, Craig Chaquico of Jefferson Starship, Dan Hicks of the Hot Licks and others I can't remember. Also, assistant mgr. of distribution for BAM magazine, the music magazine for California and BAM media. I can say I had a hell of a good time...(read more) |
