Went on the road, I was part of the folk scene in Greenwich Village, NY in the late 60's, had a decent following and eventually went on tour as opening act for several bands in the early 70's.(Canned Heat, Steppin Wolf, Judy Collins, B.B. King, Three Dog Night, Iron Butterfly,Ian & Sylvia among others and eventually ended up in Denver & hooked-up with Erik Holbrook Reynolds ( incredible guitarist & talent/ friend).We sang at the early days of Larimer Square and the local/regional clubs and ski areas in the state, eventually went to a trio - "Under Milkwood" and then a band "Stonewall"then gave it up to go into the construction/corporate world,(why ??? ), settled back in Rhode Island. Retired to Colorado (Wet Mountains). Started playing again; in the process of reviving my career and loving it ! Amazing how it comes back to you !! I opened at The Canon Rose Acoustic Society this past Saturday (12-13-08 ),in Canon City, CO.. well received, encore & all..Great to be on stage again after all these years.
