As a young boy growing up in Queens NY, circa 70's, and having a dad that was an old school biker, emotions other than anger and laughter were not for men to display and had to be forced down inside. I was and still am an emotional person, and I'm not an angry or negative guy either. So I learned young how to make people laugh. I grew up with the comedy styling of Chevy Chase, Richard Prior, John Belushi, Eddie Murphy etc. National Lampoon's. George Carlin a genius, and Alan Alda as Hawkeye in Mash. I was shy and introverted until midway thru High school, when I discovered a 6 string Godess. I gave up sports and started playing guitar. AS I became better and friends heard me play, my confidence grew and came out of my shell. Once that happened I was gone and never looked back. I enjoy life and there is a funny aspect to almost every situation in every minute of every day. I think nothing is off limits as long as It is an appropriate place and time. Self deprecated and can take as much as I give. 40 years n later Im still a goof and I've made so many good friends around the world. I've played on big stages, spoken at large gatherings, taken chances that have failed and keep going. I try and maintain a Jimmy Crack Corn MF... attitude!!! Lifes short , live and love Fearlessly.
