Black Diamond, 151, Satyr,
Sudden Turns, The Blazers, S.O.B. and coming full circle
Tom Foolery the most
kick ass Classic Southern Guitar Rock band on the face of the earth.
It all started back in 1977 playing when I started playing bass at Graham Junior
high, my first rock band Black Diamond with Trent Wentz , Dan Pavalina ,
Dave Sechrest, Chuck McKellar, Pat, and not to forget Jon Sanders the Road
Manager. Our first gig the junior high dance playing Kiss, Zeppelin & Frampton
covers and here we are 27 years later Mike and me playing Kiss,
Zeppelin & Frampton covers.
Many bands years and a lot of
fun later....

The
1st Blazer Gig with Greg Mullins & Greg Kihn
Playing
bass in the Blazers was one of the greatest gigs ever ! It started
with a rise and shine wake up call from Joyce my girlfriend who gave me
the kick in the ass to audition live on the air, the rest is history.. So
I am forever totally in debt to her for giving me one of many great experiences in my
life. I
was able to stand toe to toe with and play low end for some of the
greatest musicians ever: Robin Trower, Tesla, Pat Travers, Craig Chaquico,
Billy Sheehan (gave me a private lesson) Molly Hatchet, Dave Meniketti
& Jimmy DeGrasso (Y&T), Kieth Emerson, Jonathan Cain (Baby's
& Journey) The Late Great Dave Perverett (Foghat) and so many more...
To all the Kick ass musicians I
have played with over the years: Dave Abbott, Michael Drebert, Larry Siedlitz,
Frank Rodriguez, Sean Cannon, Frank "tag" Haxton, Chad &
Fred Wells, Brian Peck, Mike Boyer, Jim Moreland, Michael Shaw, Greg Mullins,
Ron Casini, Dennis Coulter, Peg Birch, and especialy Blazy & Bob to name but a few
thanks for the great ride. |
