Artist History I began playing drums in the mid 60's and played with a really talented guitarist and my best friend for 10 years in various bands before moving from the area. I pretty much put my music career on hold except for a bit of studio work for a few of the local talents in Arizona. After that, I did nothing professionally and only sat behind the drums every now and then. I've always been interested in Ambient and Mood music prompting me to purchase a middle-of-the-road Yamaha keyboard. I used those crummy presets attempting to create a few midi tunes. Yikes, they sounded like what they were; preset songs! I thought if I took out all the drum parts I might manage to compose something that is soothing. (I thought the same thing, 34 years of playing drums and I'm omitting them from my music?!) Anyhow, that's where I am today. Composing songs that make me feel good and I hope they do the same for you. A very special thank you to the U.K.'s Kelvin L. Smith's; the next Vangelis. Kelvin's been a real inspiration for me and he's been a great deal of help. Credit goes to him for creating my band picture and helping me to back what I lost some 24 years ago, my music.
