Bio
    Married 26 years and to the same woman yet. Been in SB since late 60's and started with a band called "Hub Cap and the Lug Nuts" round 1970. Put the guitar away for a few years and had a son who is now 25. Have been a building contractor for 20 years and have been in the trades way too long. Never stopped rockin even if I didn't play for a while. Currently have a band "Switchback" that I love but the times to play are too spread out as we all seem to be doing other things come weekend time.
