Other Experiences
I was a professional singer for many
years, performing in recording studio’s
television specials, the State and
County Fair Circuit, and toured with the
both Youth of America, but extensively
with The Young Californian’s performing
stateside at all the Military Bases. I
have performed with Bob Hope, George
Gobel, the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, Pat
Paulsen, Johnny Hartford and a few
others. I have filmed a one hour musical
special on the Young Californian’s, and
have cut a single with them, as well as
other recording and film work, most
recently a short film for the University
of California Humboldt State’s
Oceanography Department, to be used in
high schools for recruitment.
Other theatrical performances include,
“Stop the World I Want to Get Off”,
“Kiss Me Kate”, “The Crucible”, and "Take
Her She’s Mine"
