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 35 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. Closed in 1998. I played drums in marching bands and in competing color guards on the East coast when I was younger and, after a huge hiatus, for three years in the American Music Club (1986 - 1989), bass in AMC for half a year (1989); drums in the Toiling Midgets (1991 - 1997; 2007 - present). Recently, bass in the reconstituted Negative Trend (2008 - 2010).
