I grew up listening to scratchy radio signals at the beginning of rock and roll  in the 50's. It was mostly white boys music but soon discovered that the big hits were more often than not 'stolen' from black R&B artists. I'm still listening to it today and my band The Rotators is dedicated to reproducing that era. 
I've also spent nearly my whole early career playing country music and was privileged to have played with some of the biggest names in the business and learned my craft in those days often playing seven days a week two shows a day.
Then came the Blues, Funk and Funk rock and although I am principally a vocalist/guitarist my passion is percussion specialising in the Congas.
