Played cover bands for a living for over 20 years. Wrote lots of original songs of course...but spent too much time touring.

Worked with King Music down in Miami for the early 1980's, then K&Marz productions became my agents in 1983 through 1987, in 1988 I signed with Showtime Entertainment (not the cable channel) and later signed with CMC Productions when they took over Showtime. Then Fantasma Productions was my agent as well as Omni Entertainment.

Basically we played every rock club from Key West to Detroit, from Charleston to Memphis

The music was mostly the popular heavy music of the time. In 1979 we were playing a lot of Van Halen and Stones and Zep. In the early 80's we played a shitload of "hair band" stuff. In the early 90's it was Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Metallica stuff.

Now...I still play every once in a while. Mostly classic rock stuff that I like to play. Our next gig is Nov. 25th here in Vegas
