This page is about my former life as a recording studio owner and rock dilettante. I've been involved in the music scene in and around San Francisco for over 30 years. I began in a one bedroom apartment in the Haight (in 1976) with a four-track and over the years built two studios; the second, unfortunately, in one of the most recently gentrified parts of San Francisco, two blocks from the new ballpark. I first played drums in marching bands and in competing color guards on the East coast when I was younger and, after a huge hiatus, for two years in the American Music Club 1987-1989, bass in AMC for a year 1989-1990, and then drums in the Toiling Midgets 1992 - 1997.
