Anyone who knows me or knew me would tell you I have a great love of music. I studied classical music for a couple of years and then turned to Rock"n"Roll when I was twelve,I had played in a group called The Rebels,but we had to change the name because Duane Eddy's group had the same name,so it was changed to The Chevelles,over the years I have traveled everywhere,even abroad,playing good old Doo-Wop music,my good friend Rick Shaw,aka,Jim Hummell was a disc jockey in Dade and Broward County,and helped us tremendously,we played The War Memorial Auditorium and The Battle of The Bands,numerous hotels on the beach,including the Fountainbleu,the Diplomat,the Kenilworth,Seven Seas Lounge at The Castaways,and of all places Zor...Expand for more
