First 17 years in Orange County.The OC still had groves and strawberry fields. Irvine was the boonies and Mission Viejo didn't exist.70's in So Cal was the place to be for music, Neil Young was my 1st concert in 73 and my passion for music began. I've worked on the fringes of the industry since then for the music NOT a career. I'm a consummate groupie for all genres but mostly rock. In 76 I got my 1st car,packed my 8 tracks and vinyl, and moved to the sierra Nevada and here I am today. Minus 2 yrs in Apple Valley and 7 yrs in ND.(YEAH it was cold and extraordinary!) My baby girl is 22 and has an innate talent with music. She also works at festivals in communications and security. We love NOR CAL and have a lot of friends that we have yearly reunions with at Earthdance, Kate Wolf and random visits. All bets are that I'll be living up there in the not to distant future. Central Ca mountains are WAY to populated now and I prefer wilderness to neighbors any day! Gimme freaky people, a little dirt to grow on and music.......I'm good. Peace to Ya.............
