*Original Location: Moved around a lot (Army Brat)

*What is your creative/artistic background: Been writing songs, playing instruments since approx. 1969. My first rock concert was Jimi Hendrix (Kansas City) after that I started wanting to MAKE music, not just listen to it. Also have been photographing since about 1966, did a lot of 'video' in the 80's and 90's. Currently do a lot of silly photoshopping. (I use 'Picture It' not photoshop, which I dislike).

*Born: Born in Hawaii (Army Base) 1954

*Motivations: Just have the urge. Ya hear something IN your head, and want to hear it OUTSIDE your head.

*Philosophy: No particular 'philosophy,' that's pretentious. Although I prefer humor to seriousness.

*How would you like to be remembered: As someone who made interesting, off the beaten track stuff. Funny, but thoughtful.
