PICCARD COMIC MAGICIAN The only thing that supersedes the absurdity of this situation… Is our willingness to participate there in 14 Eyl 2009 tarihinde devamı
I was Born, Which Came as No surprise to my Mother, In 1948.I grew up very poor__If I hadn't been born a Boy I would not have had anything to play with.
I shined shoes at age 12 to buy my first set of Drum's. Played drum's while in the Army and hit the road with various R&B bands in 1970, By 1974 I stopped the music business to try my luck at
working as a Comic-Magician.
Along this long and slow moving dream, I have been blessed with many teachers. At age 17, I was given 2 weeks of drum clinic's by Barrett Deems...He was Louie Armstrong's drummer and Louie once said of Barrett "The Man Can Make Coffee Nervous." There are 3 Clip's in my video's, of Barrett one he is playing a Chair and the other he is Playing at
the age of 81 with Arvell Shaw, He played up and until 3 days
before he died at age 85 with all the power and speed of a young man...
There have been many Great Teachers along the way.I've been in this SHOW BUSINESS Program in one form or another since I was a Child...I've been a DRUMMER, A Circus Clown, a Night Club Comic,Now for the past 24 years performing as a Comic-Magician in Europe. 40 years on the road and 31 country's later I'm Still at it...I'm now semi-retired and only tour 3 months out of each year...For the past 8 years I've been living in Thailand were I can relax and work on new ideas...
If my wealth were measured by the Number of Great Artist and Great Teacher's I've met along the way then I would have to be one of the RICHEST MEN WALKING THE PLANET TODAY.
PLEASE take the time to read my BLOGS.
Yes__ It's True I'm still single__But I keep hoping I will meet that one really special Woman__One that Hopefully will
NOT PRESS CHARGES!!!
A Little More About me___I know it's just me ___Me __ME!___isn't it!___ISN'T IT!!!
I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice.
I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention.
I translate ethnic slurs for Albanian refugees.
I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike drum playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with ease, and I cook Thirty- Minute Brownies in twenty minutes.
I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in France,Norway and Scotland.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single- handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants.
I play bluegrass Tuba, and have been scouted by the best theaters in the world and I am the subject of numerous documentaries.
When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my backyard. I enjoy urban hang gliding.
On Wednesdays, I repair computers free of charge. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie.
Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail.
