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

I hope so.

Really, do I want to know? Little Hitler? Your bandmates must hold you in very low regard.
Oh and if you write a book you'll need a really good editor. Just some helpful advice. But don't listen to me, please continue. Like irminsul, I want to hear this 'better' you speak of.

Wow, faqign tough mfing crowd in here.. LOL

I want to hear the man speak! I do not care wtf he called the band..lol

Here, let me help him...


"And then, we started a band called AUSCHWITZ SANDWICH, where we all dressed up like SS officers and rammed riding crops up the butts of cattle, live on stage. We ended up in Mexico after our bus driver accidentally ate a bunch of windowpane, thinking they were TicTac breath mints, and we crashed the bus into a roadside fruit stand inear the litte town of Torreon, killing the vendor and sending his vengence enraged family after us with machetes. Stoned, scared and starving, we wandered through the Sonorra where we were taken into a Bruja's opium den, and I awoke one morning to find myself with one arm draped around a 12 year old male prostitute, shivering and sobbing in the corner of a dung house. I lay in a puddle of my own tears and piss, wondering if there was a God, and why It's shaped like a giant Krispy Kreme."

How am I doin'?

Loving every minute of it - Loverboy. LMAO
