when I was 7 years old. I only had a snare drum and a barrel with
an old used bass drum beater. I was in my first combo in the 4th
grade (d
rums,trumpet,sax,clairnet); we knew 2 songs. At 13 I joined the
Vondells, and played at many clubs, teen centers, school dances etc.
I made my 1st record @ Dayton Mega-Sound on the WONE album.
After good success, in
Sept. of 1966 I joined the STUMPS at 15 yrs. old; they made me a star.
Made our 1st record THINK OF THE GOOD TIMES, written by Jim Daily and
Mark Fraze in Nashville January of 1967.
We then
went on tour with the Buffalo Springfield and the
Five Americans from June to the
end of August

ied
in 1968, moved to Louisiana in 1972 then to San Diego, Ca. in 1973.
Re-married in 1980 to my present wife Danette; we have 4 great
children. We now reside in the White Mountains of Show Low, Arizona
since 1996. I am a service consultant at a Cadillac/Chevy dealership and
also officiate sports for high schools and city leagues. The highlight
of 2009 was performing with the Stumps @ The Fraze. It was one of the
BEST times of my life. Music will always be a part of me; you just have
to make the time to do what you love best.
