I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania... parents travelled around a lot... dad trying to find his forturne... he found it in Florida... I became a musician at a very early age... went on the road... learned to play alto, tenor, saprano, baritone sax, flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, banjo, bass guitar, drums, keyboards... learned to sing pretty good... did a lot of stand-up comedy... played night clubs and cruise ships... got married to Marie... then to Jan... then to Irene... then to PJ (probably shoulda kept at least one of them..oh well)... had some children... became a pilot... a pretty good photographer... studied a lot of martial arts (long time ago)... got a ham radio license (KC4YXO)... learned a lot about computers... made some decent money (in music and comedy... not computers)... blew every dime I ever made on "Cigarettes And Whisky And Wild Wild Women" (old song) ... and just partied big time all my life... (well, a lot of it) ... and generally, found a way to make everything I did fun... and I still feel the same way I always have about life... "If it ain't fun, don't do it."
