Born in San Diego right after the Spanish American war, moved to Los Angeles When in high school. (One room, red brick)
In and out of the Navy before I could blink, started life out as a mechanic.
(It's funny, eh? Men describe themselves by what they do, and women by how they feel)
Got into the movies in the 1960s, worked there untill 1978.
(Academy award in 1970)
Ok, how many not born yet?
Slipped back into mechanics, built gas and steam turbines for L.A. county, retired from them in 1997. (Allmost 20 years)
Started teaching, and all of a sudden, karaoke jumped up and bit me.
The club next to my job at the college had the evil karaoke, and I fell under it's spell.
Retired from the college after 4 years or so, kicked around at this and that, and now I mostly sing and such.
Still do a bit of consulting. (Computer networking and programming)
I do drive several types of vehicles, (Nextel Cup and offroad) and fly a bit. (Dogfighting and other sport flying)
Still teach video production, and have two screenplays in the works.
(Did I say I still sing)
I have made many good friends around the karaoke scene.
(Did that sound too sucky?)
Anyway, if you see me at a club, I'm buyin'.
