One west coast trip was to Seattle, Washington in 1970 to work the Trojan Hourse Supperclub (owned by two Greek guys). I loved the city, the environment, the people, the lakes, the mountains, and yes even the weather. I was offered a job with the house band at the Trojan Horse, Jo...Expand for more
hnny Lewis Quartet, also where I met my future wife, Connie. The job only lasted a short time (26 years!)
In 1972 I obtained my real estate salesperson license. Played drums at night; sold real estate during the day. 1974 obtained my real estate Broker's license, started my own real estate company (KLS Realty) got married to Connie, we have 3 children, daughter Andrea 33, son Aaron 26, daughter Erica (killed 28 years ago in a sledding accident. She was 3 years old). We still live in Bellevue, Washington. Semi-retired now, though I still play drums on weekend gigs, at St. Madeleine Sophie Catholic church, and some recording sessions, and still work real estate! Don't know if I will ever REALLY retire. What would I do all day?
My best to all my alums.
