Walking Huntington Beach Pier near where I grew up, I couldn’t resist posing for a photo with these drums found in a gift shop – lol! I later learned there was a reason for my love of percussion: when I met my father he told me that “all my kids play the drums.”
Also, why I was often found with a book in one hand and a transistor radio in the other. It was my destiny to write stories and songs. In fact, I wrote my first song with a childhood friend. We called ourselves the “Screamie Birds” aka “SBS.”
And why these days I mostly write Electronic Dance Music, heavy on the kick drum, in my home studio.
