  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. p>.. I found a pair of drum stick's and a set of old drum's at a local American Red Cross Center in a small town outside the military base where I was stationed in France and began Beating on them over the week's to come until I could make some sense out of different rhythm's, I then took myself to the Service Club on base and began sitting in with the player's that would Jam everyday after work and got to where I could handle most every kind of music they played. Not being satisfied with just drumming I bought an old acoustic guitar from a friend leaving for the States (Marvin Manley) and began what was a trial and error situation re: chord's-progression's etc!! THEN, I met a couple of young guy's that would come play and practice guitar together at the Service Club and asked if they would help me learn chord's and one of them agreed to help. One of the guy's went on to a military career Mr. Doug Land (fantastic guitar player at age 15) also Doug Land played Lead guitar for me in a Talent Contest at the Base Service Club which was my FIRST TIME SINGING in front of an audience, we did the song MY HEART IS AN OPEN BOOK. The other young man age 15 was none other than Jerry Corbitt the future Co-Founder of ' THE YOUNGBLOODS ' with Jesse Colin Young, and also Co-Founder with Charlie Daniels of the ' CORBITT-DANIELS BAND '. Jerry worked with me on chord's, rhythm's and whatever else I could handle at the time musically, and the rest is history for all concerned. .... .... I began playing drum's for local band's when I returned to the states from Europe and also playing some of the Coffee Houses and Folk rooms in and around the Boston area, then ended up going to the WWVA Jamboree with Doug LaValley and Jean Marie and stayed there playing for the Jamboree act's throughout the USA then Nashville called and I went on the road there with Up and Coming Band's. (I must say this about that) if it had not been for my second 'MOM' Tootsie Bess owner of Tootsie's Orchid Lounge I never could have had the opportunity to stay until I connected with a solid GIG as she allowed me to run an OPEN TAB on beverage and food (of which I alway's paid) by working Linebaugh's Restraunt waiting table's and to keep a roof over my head, then one day,, my dear (Late) friend of 42 year's Charlie Garner told his boss about me being a drummer and SLEEPY LABEEF came to Linebaugh's and asked me to play drum's for him. I worked on and off with this Legendary Rockabilly for nearly 40 year's and would still be with him today if not for raising my now 12 year old son..... .... I signed with BMI Nashville in 1976 while an affiliate writer with Warner Bros.(Nash.) Co-Writing with the (late great) Singer/Songwriter 'Handsome' Harlan Sanders. We went on to write many song's that were recorded over the years by various Artist's of which were well accepted by fan's, listener's, and radio station's across the USA/Canada and around the world..... .... Harlan passed away a few year's ago (August 29, 2003) leaving a large void in my life, as well as being Co-Writer he was my Best Friend, and Best Man when my wife and I were married in 1972, he loved my little son P.J. and P.J. loved him, we all miss him very much. .... .... I formed SCRIMSHAW RECORDS in 1979 and my publishing company SCRIMSHAW MUSIC BMI in 1980 for the reason of having a Record Label and Publishing company at my disposal so I could Catalog and Protect my own song's, Record and Release whomever and whatever I wished, whenever I chose, allowing me not to have to (KISS) some record company owner's backside to do so..... .... I have recorded Nationally for COUNTRY SHOWCASE AMERICA RECORDS (CSA) Md. receiving many Great Review's/Triple Pick's to Hit from the now defunct Review Process of RECORD WORLD/BILLBOARD and CASH BOX covering Canada/USA and the world, and of course on my own label SCRIMSHAW RECORDS Tn. .... ....I have Produced/Arranged two Album's on SCRIMSHAW RECORDS for a talented, lovely Lady from New England by the name of 'SHARMAN' which were Recorded in Nasville,Tn. at Bayou Recording Studio engineered by the GREAT Mr. George Clinton which went on to receive numerous Rave Review's from Fan's/Radio and Press. Artist's that have recorded on SCRIMSHAW RECORDS are: GRIZZLY DAVE -- SHARMAN -- AMARILLO -- JIMMY PARKER (Party Of One) written by: (the late) Harlan Sanders, this song was one of the the most played, longest running songs on radio in the New England area,, it is still being played today, and of course myself !! .... .... After 20 year's of retirement from the music business, MR.& Mrs. George Rohm in 2003 allowed me to take part in a (Writer's Round) at the Frank Brown International Songwriter's Festival which re-kindled that ol' flame for performing, I sincerely thank them for doing so.
