Bio

I\\\'ve been involved in music since age 7,hit my first band at age 18 and have been performing on stage in one form or another as a prof.musician/songwriter ever since.The past 35 years have been a whirlwind of laughs,tears,frustrations,disappointments,minor successes,flashes of brilliance and failures that led me to the brink of suicide. This bio is not your typical one.The main reason being I\\\'ve done these so many times,believing so many \\\"pie-in-the-sky\\\" promises,that I no longer give a rats\\\' ass about kissing anybodys ass anymore.I\\\'m an artist..a dyed in the wool professional who takes his work seriously.Music is from GOD.To be able to perform it,write it,etc.is a privelage underserved by everyone.ITS A GIFT! Thru the years,I\\\'ve seen music go from being the only thing that mattered to barely an art form.Music today is nothing more than assembly-line,uninspired trash spewed out by 20 something A&R execs who wouldn\\\'t know a melody if they fell over it,manipulating these pathetic no-talents for a quick buck.The music industry is just that...MUSIC....ITS NOT A MODELING AGENCY!..Just because somebody isn\\\'t a teen or a 20 something,weighs 80 pounds,looks like they crawled out of a sewer,sneers for the camera and acts like an uneducated twit,doesn\\\'t mean they can\\\'t create great music...SCREW THE IMAGE! Show some character and accept someone for their talent.Followers are losers...legends blaze their own way!!..Contemporary music has been on life support since the 80\\\'s. That being said...I have 2 CD\\\'s to my credit so far.The first,\\\"COUNT IT ALL JOY\\\" is a 15 song original christian pop/rock album,released in 1997.The most recent was \\\"SEX,DIAMONDS AND CHOCOLATES\\\",a 15 song pop/rock cd released in 2005.I;m currently working on a double album due out sometime this year.I\\\'m doing it all myself...sick of half-ass,uncreative,overpriced engineers and prima-donna lightweight musicians. I\\\'ve stepped into musical theatre in the early 80\\\'s,writing the book,composing the music and lyrics to 3 ,two hour musicals,staged at the local performing arts center. Well,that\\\'s it....hate writing bio\\\'s....just listen to the music.If you like it,let\\\'s talk business.If your into image and bullshit......go somewhere else.Don\\\'t waste my time and yours.......
