The Beginning “1965”

It all started in 1965 when I was 10 years old and saved up money by selling candy door to door all summer to buy a guitar from Sears for $65. It was a beautiful Stratocaster style guitar clone. It took me another year to save up for an Amp. First song I learned to play was “Little Black Egg” by the “Nightcrawlers” in 1965. A simple lick on the guitar, but a challenging beginning for me. Soon came “Wipeout” by the “Surfaris”. By the time I was 12 years old, I had a 3 man band and 10 songs we could play. At 14 we had our first gig that paid us $40 to play for 2 hours at a city youth dance. We thought we hit the big time! Later we grew our band to 5 members and played for dances at churches and schools. This lasted through High School in 1974.

A few years after High School (1976), some friends and I formed a band called “Second Chance”. We again played for Churches, Schools, County Fairs, Lagoon and Company Parties throughout Utah and Idaho.

In 1989 we created a “Rock Against Drugs and Alcohol” Program for Granite School District, which we played a 1 hour concert, complete with lights and pyrotechnic flash pots and explosions through 1993. It was fantastic!

As time went on, around 2002, with our own families and work obligations, the band became harder and harder to keep together. I dropped out of the band and decided to turn to recoreding my favorite songs which has grown to over 500 songs to date(2024) I am now 68 years old and still recording and have created this website to share with my friends and family. Although I never became a Rock Star as planned, music became a love and passion for me and I hope you will enjoy and laugh with me on my music journey and the music that I have recorded thus far.

The following are a compilation of original music that I created during a week of craziness and are not part of my usual musical creativeness, but surfaced and I’m including them regardless of the strangeness that surfaced. I hope you find them at least intertaining.

MY Dr. Seuss Readings

The Reading of Dr Seuss books started out as something weird I just wanted to do. The first reading, “Green Eggs and Ham”, I disguised my voice with effects for each character in the book and created a beat and rhythm to the reading. A friend of mine taught a group of autistic children from 5 to 10 years old. She wanted to see how they would respond to the recording. To our surprise, they followed the recording, turning the pages in sync with the sounds and music. It was a hit. the children wanted to listen to the book over and over. So “The Cat In The Hat” Came next. “Are you My Mother?” by P.D. Eastman”, was one of my kid’s favorites, so i did this one a little differently from the first two books. The last Book, “My Many Colored Days was Dr. Seuss’s last book he wrote and wasn’t released until many years after his death and is mostly unknown by his fans.
