| Introduction | Professional Musician/Comedy Writer/Artist/all-around-insane-person - It all started when I was eleven years old and started drumming. It began with me banging on the table..A LOT. I was fascinated by rhythms and soon included pots, pans and wooden spoons into the act. So I figured I'd join a band, only nobody wanted a percussionist who played table, pots and pans. I saved my allowance, bought used drums, found a teacher, and the journey began. Imagine what it's like doing something you love and making a living at it!! At first that's all I could do IMAGINE! But eventually it happened. I made my investment back by doing weddings and school dances, progressed into Jazz, then R&B/Soul music and got a fulltime gig with a group called "The Jewels" in NYC that lasted 10 years. I then moved into pure Rock & Roll and, with one of the Jewels, founded a group that eventually became "JF Murphy & Salt". I began wise-cracking to fill the dead air between songs, which got everybody laughing. And ALL of these people constantly laughing at me led me directly into comedy writing...and the rest is history! BTW...Art is my therapy!! |
