Favorite Bassist: Without question Terry Battle (Jumpstreet). He's a life long friend and best man at my wedding. Terry is one of the "baddest" bass players around.

 

Previous Work:  I played in my first band, The Jay Tees, at the age of 14. The Jay Tees consisted of Gary Pulliam my brother (guitar), Terry Battle (drums), Kevin Jackson (sax), Harry Norris (singer), Terry Edmonds (singer), Wesley Hodge (singer). We played many gigs that would go until 2:00 am. I'm told that during the last set, I would fall asleep on stage while playing but never missed a note. 

 

After the Jay Tees, I played in another Baltimore group called the Objects. I played with the Objects during high school and then retired the bass to go to college, pursue a career in computers and start a family. 

 

Well, after nearly 25 years in retirement, the Soul Avengers, now DODGING CUPID, convinced me the brush off the rust and get make to "gig'n". I'm back and having a blast!
