I Live in San Jose, Califonia, the heart of Silicone Valley. San Jose is the third largest city in California after Los Angeles and San Diego, and the 10th largest in the United States. We are over a million people, our county is near 3 million and you name it and we have it both the good and the bad.
We have so many bands here that I don't know how they all find work, but they do work here 7 nights a week.
At age 74, I now do most of my playing in my home recording studio. I don't go out for a job unless I am furnished roadies in and out, because my wife won't load and unload the 100 pound amps anymore
I have been a musician since I was 5 but took 30 years out to build and own 5 companies specializing in manufacturing Hydraulic machinery. I have been retired since 1980 part time and full time since 1982. My wife Jann is an accomplished Pianist but only plays anymore when I have brought home a new keyboard. We played concerts all over the US for 5 years after my retirement, and she just got burnt out. Jann is from SW Kentucky, town of Benton. We are having our last marriage and just completed the 30th year LIFE IS GOOD
