What have you been up to for the last 45 years?
After high school, I went to SJS for 6 years, majoring in psychology& chemistry, started a band in December of 1965 with 3 other CHS buddies, and I'm still playing in that same band today (Papa Doo Run Run).
We've had a couple of hit records, toured with Jan & Dean and the Beach Boys, and earned 2 gold records and a Grammy nomination. We currently do about 100 dates a year all over the world. For the whole scoop, check out www.papadoo.com.
I was married twice, the first time in 1970 for only 9 months, the second time in 1980 to Margie Dorr, a stunning Homecoming queen that I met at a gig. We're still married today. Musicians get all the hot babes.
I've been "dad" to my stepdaughter, Melissa since she was 2 years old.
We still live in Cupertino in what I like to call my million dollar storage locker.
My mother, now 80, still asks me "When are you going to get a real job?"
Looking forward to retiring and moving to Tahoe, or Maui, or someplace else special.
