Nothing you would really get your finger on. Like if Jonathan Winters took Drum lessons from John Bonham, Elvin Jones, Keith Moon, And Tony Williams. Then got a gig that brought him onto a talk show for 10 years. Settling into a cushy madhouse, with cool shrinks. Somehow not havin much dough to show for it. So he’s not jaded, or bitter yet. Pissed off a bit though.
Born In Toronto, Grew up via Mansfield, Alliston, Cookstown, Fergusonvale, Barrie, Toronto. Darting the low belly of Ontario. Luck would have it, got to grow up all over the damn place on a bus with dear people by OLP.
My songs and sketches, come from all these places. Playing Drums and music, is like a life support system for me. Always giving back. Better than an apple a day, And you won't get the shits!
I'm hitting the road in a couple of weeks to raise money for War Child, Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me? War Child helps these children that have been affected by war. Check out the new blog – the whole story is up there. Love to have you be a part of it.
You’ll find a Blog, Tour page and a Bio page. I’ll be blogging daily from the road.
