I was here, right on the DMZ 1971-2.
Remember Good Morning Vietnam? I did a live show/interview on air.
JAL recruited me in 1979 to teach their in-flight staff. I have fond memories of instructing hundreds of flight attendants.

In the mid 1970s I was in top vocal group The Association, singing, playing guitar and harp. I learned my parts singing a capella in the car as we drove across the USA. Hits included Cherish, Windy, Along Comes Mary. I am honored to have had that wonderful musical experience.

I played with these jazz giants for two years in the early '70s. I also studied polytonal jazz theory with Tommy Gumina, who's the founder of Polytone Amps. One of my greatest joys in life was when Art once said I was sounding pretty good those days, and that he'd consider using me on one of his next recordings.
