About Me
 Hello to all,
I am a Native Texan and a mutt, lol! Here is a bit about my past
musical adventures I'd like to share with you...
 
 
Band History:
I have played with many bands over the years.
In Prescott, Ariz. I played with the Leroy B. Band ( four piece, Bluegrass/Country)
at the Bird Cage Saloon on Whiskey Row in the mid 70's.
Also played and recorded original music with several excellent musicians in many living room groupsover the years. (Used to record on reel-to-reels and cassette
tapes.) I wonder where those wonderful musicians are today?

When I moved back to Tx. (where I was born) in the mid-80's,
I worked with the band 'Flashback' in Dallas for four years.
It was a Variety band, six piece group, (Country/Soul/50's-60's-70's-80'smusic)
with an excellent Elvis-Pelvis impersonator, Gary Ladell.
Did some studio demo work for our band and others.
Sang at several Opry's in Dallas area including the Wiley Opry where I had
one of my songs  "Stranger" cut/side B of a 45 on the Alexander Charter Label
after entering a singing contest.
Then in '89 I moved to Amarillo and sang with the band KrackerJack.
Went to Nashville to plug some songs in '90, (Yes, I tried).
Moved back to the Weatherford, Tx. area in '92 and pursued
my music through the FWSA.
Am still followin' the dream wherever it leads..... I love music!
 
Your influences?
Olivia Newton-John, Joni Mitchell, Emmy Lou, Ronstadt, Dolly Parton,
Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Fleetwood Mac(Stevie), Beatles, Stones, Eagles,
Hwy 101, Grace Slick, Heart, & many more.
Country, Bluegrass, Folk, Pop, Rock, Blues, Jazz, R/B.
 
***************
My song "Half a Woman" placed in the top five in the Country category 2005
at the SongOftheYear.com songwriting contest
and have also won the 'Suggested Artist' award for several other songs.
 
When I lived in the Ft. Worth area and was a member of the FWSA.
I attended and performed open mic nights at the Rig &
The White Elephant Saloon. 
I love performing with a band and single. I love interacting with an audience. 
Every performance is special to me and I always look forward to the next.
 
Equipment used:
I use a Yamaha Keyboard to come up with rhythms for my melodies.
Am now using GarageBand 8 for creating the music
with the help of various loops here and there when needed.
My Mic is a Sterling Audio. And a good headset is manditory.
I have also added a PreSonus Firebox interface and two Rokit studio speakers.
