I started to play drums back in 1964 have been a drumming for over 60 years. I have played with concert/marching bands, rock bands, big band dance orchestras and jazz ensembles. When I was a student at Cal Poly back in 80’s, I played with the San Luis Obispo County Band, Morro Bay White Caps and the Clint Garvin Over the Hill Gang Dance Orchestra. Most recently I played with the Cupertino Jazz Sextet before I moved back to Los Osos in 2023 from the SF Bay Area. |
