People ask me all the time,"How did you get into music?" It started
when I was ten when the english invasion was happening in America.
My brother played drums and I played guitar. A friend also played
guitar. We found a singer who brought in another guitar player. We
needed a bass guitar. So I said I would do it. The bass came naturally
to me. We had a full band and we started practicing to get gigs.
The "ODDS & ENDS" came to be. We played at school
and teen dances. We recorded a 45 record. We got a manager who
had us play in NYC. THE LEMON PIPERS had a number one hit called
GREEN TAMBOURINE. Their producer was IRVIN SPICE. He came
to a bar we were playing at, that had allot of drunk and sweaty people.
He offer us a record deal. One problem,we were all under age and
none of our parents would sign the contract. I have been making a
living with music ever since that time. Those were fun days,
