Songwriting Achievements: |
I started writing song lyrics after my discharge from the Army. I wrote with a friend who played local clubs and concerts around New England. I became his road manager and booked gigs for him and was his transportation to and from engagements. He drowned in a boating mishap off Nantucket. I then wrote with another local professional guitar player and instructor. We recorded demo tapes that I sent out to several record producers around the country. I made motorcycle trips from MA to NYC in search of producers and arrangers. I sold myself as a long-haired unknown waiting to be discovered.
