I did a lot of work at Santa Barbara Sound (commercial recording studio) with my old friend Dan Prothero engineering. I knew a lot of great players from SB: Randy Tico, bass, Jeff Elliot, trumpet, Steve LeGassick, keys.
Played ton's of casuals there in junior high and high school. Played snare drum in the SB Symphony. Taught drums for a living for a while. Worked with Barry Devorzon in Montecito for a couple of years. Was the drummer for The Calliope ('60's original band) and The Isla Vista Jam Band in the '70's. That was when we lit trash cans on fire and jammed all night in People's Park.
