High school rock bands in the late 60's, road tours in a show band in the early 70's.

Late 70's - Lots of Los Angeles studio session work, an album on Polydor with a band called "Waves", produced & engineered by Bill Halverson (Crosby,Stills,Nash - Stephen Stills - Cream - Bill Withers)

Co-Publishing deal with April Music in the late 70's (now with Sony ATV). Songs recorded by Englebert Humperdinck, Clifford T. Ward, Cecilio & Kapono.

Currently in a Classic Rock band called The Ravelers (ravelers.com), a band that plays music for kids & their parents called The Happy Crowd (happycrowd.com), an acoustic guitar/vocal trio called Dynamite Dawson, , Central Coast band call Earls of Tuesday, and an acoustic band honoring the music of the Beatles, called The Fab 8 .

Recently, have had song placements in two Amazon Series...."Red Oaks" & "An American Girl Story"...plus the latest Robert Redford movie called "The Discovery" on Netflix, two placements in a Showtime series by Jim Carrey called "I'm Dying Up Here", a Marvel Series on Hulu, and a new series on Epix, "The Kids Are Alright" on ABC, and "This is Us" on NBC. These all came from a TAXI listing, which hooked me up with a publisher in Arizona dealing with time specific songs. Gotta love it!

Producing music for jingles, film scores, independent CD projects....writing whenever possible, and feeling grateful to have been able to make a living doing something I love for over 48 years.
