I will post stories from time to time of stories I have to tell from ovver the years. Everytime i tell one of my stories I always get a reply "When is the book coming out?" Eventually I will get to the part of why my band and road crew members called me "Little Hitler"
The Beginning !978:
I always wanted to be in a band especially after seeing Kiss in 1976. I told my freinds and my boss I was going to quit my job as a Respatory Therapist and start a band. This was in 1978. My boss told me I wouldn't do it, 2 months later I quit and moved to Tulsa, Ok. When I moved from Mcalester, Ok all I owned was 3 pairs of jeans, 4 shirts, sock, a 3" foam mattress for a bed my guitar, amp and a 1968 chevy van. I did have a job in Tulsa starting the next Monday. I was on my way to look for musicians and start a band in the big city. I started my job that Monday.
That Saturday prior I wnet to a music store Called Music Sound World and looked at adds for drummers. I found one that matched what I liked and I called him. He was there in about an hour. We hit it off and I had a drummer, oh his name was Rick Siegfried. We rented a mini storage and started practicing. We found a guitarist Marty O'brien and after going through several bass players I decided to take my brother out of school to play bass. He was 16 and had been palying for about 4 months. But has was already as good as the ones we had been using.
To Be continued ... believe me it gets better. 8-1-07
