The Good "Ole" Days
I started out in 1966 as a drummer and vocalist...
Shown below are three of the bands I played with in High School; The Systematic Sound, Strange Brew, and, are you ready for this...The Atavistic Chemically Induced Prismatic Vibrations (ACIPV)-yes, drugs were involved in naming that band.   The last photo is a promo shot of the group I played with in college; Pleasure.  Sadly, I have no photos from several of the other groups...guess we were too busy changing the world.

The more years that pass, the better we used to be...funny how that works! 



I've done a lot of crazy things in my life--been fortunate not to go to jail...or hell

I am very thankful for my wife, Dona...and our daughter, Tina.

They truly are my reason for being.

How Beer  Saved  My Life


Before I starting drinking beer, I had these big lumps all over my body.  Through a steady diet of brew, I have managed to blend most of those lumps into one huge gut I lovingly refer to as...mine!
