So Many where do I begin. Many found in my book " Motley Rock Stories" as well as a few Crawford high stories. Like a cat with 9 lives, I have surely used half of them already. The most scarey was as a sophmore. My mother (pro musician)was playing a show in Vegas. My duties while she was gone was drain the pool and sand the walls for refinishing . I'll never forget sanding at twilight near the normally underwater pool light. It was so hot and bright I had to wear sun glasses as my face was right in front of the 3/4 inch glass magnifying lens as I stood on a ladder when the phone rang and my grandmother called me to take a call from my mother long distance. While I was on the phone there was a hugh explosion outside and the backyard went totally dark. The pool light apparently burned out. I did not discover till daylight the next day the light had exploded hurling 3/4 inch thick glass accross the backyard and imbedded shards in the wooden fence 50 feet away. My mother unknowingly save my life with that phone call. The pool light ( which should never be turned on without water to keep it cool) surely would have blown my head right off. I should have DIED AT 16 if it were not for the angels screaming at my mom to get me on the phone!!!.

Beleive it or not if it were not for me there would not have been the VanHalen or Motley Crue the world knows today. Long story .

I was also the world's first flying drummer. Some call me the Orville Wright of drums. Tommy Lee got all the glory. Long Story.

Actually I am Forrest Gump in the flesh.
