I played drums in my first paying band when I was 7 yrs. old. I am still in the industry 50+ years later. My past and current experience includes:
- Full-time musician and band leader for 20 years. I play drums as well as some keyboards and rhythm guitar. I was forced to sing because I was in a duo for much of that time. I was smart enough to pick a partner with a beautiful voice to balance mine.
