I got interested in music like alot of other folks by watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan.Soon I was learning songs with my friends and focusing on the bass parts. I guess in that sense I've always been a bass player. I grew up learning songs of The Rolling Stones,Johnny Winter, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. Oddly enough my first semi-successful band was The Blades , Columbus' premier punk band in the early 70's. From there I gravitated back to my blues roots. I spent a good 30 years playing with Ray Fuller and just about as long with Terry Davidson. I've met and shared the stage with alot of great musicians. Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Lee Hooker,Muddy Waters,Chuck Berry,Albert Collins,Buckwheat Zydeco,Dave Edmunds,Johnny Winter,The T Birds ,The Blasters, Lil' Ed, Blue Cheer and so on. I currently play bass for Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers. I still do some work with Terry davidson and the Gears also. Come out and say "howdy"!
