Partial Arts Resume
Note: In my early days as an artist I kept meticulous notes as to when and where I did every performance. In 1987 I went to work for the Tucson Citizen newspaper, and things dramatically changed. I was forbidden from composing or performing in Tucson due to conflict of interest concerns. Also my work schedule on average was 80 hours or more per week. Yet still I worked in my studio on music projects, video and more. When the Citizen was closed by Gannett in 2009 I resumed my work as an artist. In the months ahead I will attempt to fill in some of the gaps and keep things more current.
