New Jersey c&w circuit before disbanding in Jan.1992.At the same time I formed The Mokus Family a bluegrass band with Dave Hamburger dobro, Jimmy Harper Harmonica and a girl banjo player named Joan.Iwas also a member of the Minetta Creek Bluegrass band before moving to Ajo Arizona,a small town near the Mexican border in June 1992.In 1995 I moved to Phoenix and landed a steady gig at the Rusty Spur Saloon in Feb.1996.In 1998 I formed the Psychobilly Rodeo Band with Jimmy Hornick and Gabe Dixon and we have been the houseband at the Spur since.The current lineup is Jimmy Hornick rythm guitar, vocals,Myself bass, vocals,Tom Christy drums,vocals and Ronnie Derosett ld. guitar,vocals.I play solo Wednesday and Sunday and the Psychobilly Rodeo Band plays Thursday thru Saturday at the Rusty Spur Saloon in Old Town Scottsdale.Come on down and say Hi!
