Me, a little younger than I am now.
This was actually my first group, in Jr. High School, ages 12-15. Tom and John Miller and I were the Millbury Ragtime 3. We had a regular gig at Pepa's Pizza Parlor on Katella Ave. in Anaheim. This article in the local paper said we 'kicked up a rash of ragtime.'
Drumming at the jazz society jam session in Santa Ana, around age 15.
My first drumset was a Ludwig. This is me, in high school, playing in the pit orchestra for the Broadway show 'The Boyfriend.'
This is me in one my rock bands in high school. We were trying to look cool and older. Do you think we succeeded?
Our garage band
One of our more sophisticated groups. This was one of our regular weekly gigs at the Elk's club. We were 16 and 17.
