Back in the late 50s and early 60s, i was a drummer in four different rock and roll bands i started. my band was the opening band for Roy Orbison and other great rock and roll artists. i was a studio drummer for other artists. somewhere, down the road, i took a wrong fork and became a police officer. i kept my musicial talent to myself for about eight years. someone discoverd me and had the idea of forming a rock and roll band for the police departrment. it was a great public relations idea. so, this we did. we were the original Blue Lights Band, formed in the early 70s. we were very popular, especially with school students of all ages. my hidden talent was not hidden anymore.
