| Introduction | I have been a professional drummer and for 30+ years now. I truly enjoy all styles of music and try to do them justice when attempting to play them. I have performed live many times in my life, and continue to do so to this day. I am a member of the Oregon Music Hall Of Fame. There are also a fair amount of recordings out in the lexicon that I am on, and are not hard to find, and I still record for various artists who engage me for service. I also am an active educator also, and teach in the public schools and universities, as well as privately. |

| Favorite Books | Don't have a favorite and though I am not a voracious reader of books, when I find something in a book that strikes my fancy, it is then that I am activated. In the meantime I do plenty of covering the scope of what is up out there with some printed materials and the internet. |
