I Saw The Beatles when I was an eight year old kid in 1964. Been doing it ever since. Funny how I still wake up every morning wanting to make music...all kinds of music, just running around in my head.'

I was born at the West Point Military Acadamy. My Dad was a general's aide, and a career soldier. II grew up in Alaska and South Carolina, though my parents always maintained a residence in Honolulu, Hawaii. We would go back every so often, and when my father retired in 1967, we returned for good.
