I started playing guitar in 1964, when I was 11. Listened to the Beatles, and was hooked... Never had a lesson..Bought a Beatles book, taught myself to play every song in the book, by reading the chords and listening to the RECORDS! Played in at least a dozen bands, of all variety, in the 60's, based in Quincy and Stockton, Ca... Faded from playing music in the early 70's to work my day job and support my family. Got back into music in the late 70's. Played in several bands based in Stockton including "Direct Hit". Met my band partner, T.B. (Tim Boore) who joined "Direct Hit." In 1980, joined a group from Lodi with T.B. and did Top 40 & old R&R for 15 some years with that group. Formed "Stone Corral" with T.B. in 1996, playing new Country & and old R&R. Joined my first "Super-Group", Last Stage, in late 2007.
