About the Artist

Keyboardists and lead vocalists. I began playing piano at age 10... was accepted as a student at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music for classical piano when I was 12 and playing out by the time I was 14. This page contains recordings of bands I played with which include the Ice, East Wind, Razor's Edge, Nighthawk & Harlot (both from Los Angeles), Kids Next Door (with Troy Tipton & Mike Hicks) and Target from Cincinnati. There are other bands which I haven't added yet. Many thanks to John Hargus on bass, Renard Holmes on Drums and Kim Hagerty on Guitar for their studio work on "Sunshine Day". (Kim Hagerty's sister is actress Julie Hagerty) My band East Wind played backup for the Diamonds which had several hit records such as Little Darlin' and Silhouettes. I played with the drummer from the Ventures on an original called "Won't outgrow the need for Rock & Roll", recorded in Los Angeles. The Ventures had many hit records including Wipe out, Walk don't run, Pipeline and Apache. They also recorded the theme song for Hawaii Five O TV show. The Kids Next Door band was a 3 piece with Keyboards, Guitar and Drums. All 3 of us sang lead and I played left hand keyboard bass. The lead guitarist (Troy Tipton) played with Sly Fox which had a top 10 hit record called "Let's go all the way" and John Schlitt, the lead singer for Head East who had a top 40 hit record called "Never been any reason". Influences on my keyboard playing include world renowned Pipe Organist Gerre Hancock, Procol Harum organist Matthew Fisher... Booker T from from the MG's... Keith Emerson from Emerson, Lake & Palmer... Rick Wakeman from Yes and Steppenwolf keyboard player Goldy McJohn. You can hear Goldy's influences in recordings from the "Ice". 'We’re all just actors in the play of life and our time here on this planet is brief. In the end, 'nothing really matters' ... 'we’re just dust in the wind' and 'if all of this should have a reason, we will be the last to know'... profound thoughts and words from artists of a bygone era. 'We're spiritual beings having a physical experience'; people who has had NDE experiences say we chose to come to this planet, we chose our parents and the difficulties we encounter as part of out spiritual development.
