I've been playing bass guitar since the fall of 1976. I'm a multi-instrumentalist playing rhythm/lead guitar (favoring the acoustic), drums, keys/piano, in that order by the love and proficiency of playing each instrument. I switched to bass guitar when my band needed a bassist and it was then that I realized I had found my niche, especially when it came to playing bass and singing at the same time. I am also a singer/songwriter and feel they are my strongest attributes. I love to record and perform live.
I am inspired by the music I listen to, the stories I read & documentaries of artists I like. There are different things in life that motivate me to write music, such as heart break, overcoming a battle or the many amazing things of God. What is most excellent is collaborating with other musicians to create new music!
My earliest influences of music and bands were songs my momma played on the radio when I was 3 or so. My earliest memories of who I listened to on the radio when I was 7 were The Partridge Family, Gilbert O'Sullivan, The Jackson Five, Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy, Paul McCartney & Wings to name a few. I used to sing with the radio to the kids on my block using a flashlight as my microphone. My biggest influence overall in music is Elton John. He was the first artist I saw in concert, Denver, Co. supporting the Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy album. Other influences include The 5th Dimension, Rare Earth David Bowie, The Sweet, Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, The Doobie Bros., The Who, Yes, Chicago, The Chi-Lites, KISS, Neil Young, Three Dog Night, Rick Derringer, The Commadores, Carol King, Neil Diamond, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Steve Miller Band, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Barry White, Queen (2nd concert), War, Grand Funk Railroad, The Guess Who, The O'Jays, Foreigner, Rufus/Featuring Chaka Khan, Sly & the Family Stone, Van Halen, Rush & a lot more!
