MY STORY...(so far!)
I started playing drums immediately after seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964. My mother cursed that day (oh well!) Formed a high school band called the Knight Watchmen and played every weekend around Humboldt, Saskatchewan.
I went pro in 1970 and toured all over Western Canada. I finally met up with some musicians who wanted to pursue a recording career. Together with Doug Rusu and Denis Meneely we hired a singer by the name of Kenny Shields. Kenny was making his comeback after a serious car accident. Kenny Shields already had a few big hits at the time with Witness Incorporated.
After two years I moved to Vancouver and played with R & B bands, show bands, etc. I decided to move to Portland and study jazz music at Mt. Hood Community College. Great times but decided to get back to R & R so the journey started again in Vancouver, BC. Not long after that I had a call from GRT records and the manager of One Horse Blue hired me in Edmonton where I then took up residency. I later moved to Las Vegas and played with a great "all original" rock band and recorded at Can AM Studios in Los Angeles with Gary Goetzman as producer (look him up on Wikipedia).
I came back to Edmonton and formed a band - Love the Life - with Doug Jenson, Charlotte Wieb, Kennedy Jenson, and Les Weis. Around the same time I played with Tim Feehan, Brian Hughes, Gord Maxwell, and also the P J Burton Band
I decided to go back to school and studied X-ray and MRI. After 22 years of health care I felt it was time to get back to my music, so here I am still rockin' and loving every minute.
Hope you enjoy the songs and tell your friends all about it.
Rock on!
