I was born in Hollywood, California, and I have many friends and colleagues in the bowels of the entertainment industry. I'm sort of a rebel in that regard, I suppose; I'm not interested in fame or fortune so much as music itself. I'm not pursuing a career as a session drummer, but I'm definitely, very emphatically, interested in the subject of recording drums.
I'm not yet sure how to articulate this, but I am near to the end of my career as a singer/songwriter/guitarist. In the next 2 years, I expect that I will record the songs that I started writing when I was a child. It's about 3 albums worth of material; my opus. Maybe I'll put out a song every few months or a year or so after. Scott Bradlee of PMJ is a brilliant example of what I have in mind for my future as "Lefty Phillips".
Playing drums is something different for me. Let's say I've done everything I wanted to do as a musician, so what's next? Helping everyone else, helping the next generation, do the thing.
Not enough drummers in the world. I'm stepping up to that challenge. Am I making the least bit of sense at all, or...?
