SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Veteran Maine Musician will celebrate 50 years of performing in 2010...and member of pioneering Maine bands Love, Inc. (1968-1971) and Pegasus (1971-1973). Recently playing with The Chapparals. Currently looking for gigging band as drummer 45 years playing drums...50 years of piano/keys. Have played literally thousands of gigs, and toured extensively in my career. Was a Judge at Guitar Center South Portland, Maine Drum-Offs in 2009. In November of 2009 my wife Kathleen and I realized a life-long dream and visited the Zildjian Factory in Norwell, MA. I had the chance to play in the world-famous Drummers Lounge and also on one of Buddy's 1950's Slingerland Kits. See the photos in my photo section. In 2008 I celebrated 40 years with Ludwig and Zildjian still playing my original 1968 Kit and cymbals.
