I have tried most of the entertainment outlets ... written for a chain of newspapers, wrote stories about sci-fi and fantasy, a couple of books, quite a few songs and poems ... and, opened shows for many of the rockabilly and country artists: Carl Perkins, The Sparkletones, Blue Notes, Royal Teens, Champs, Jerry Lee, Conway Twitty and Loretta plus a lot of others. The Del Rays were the best group I ever traveled with. I was their lead singer.
