 Paul Delph was also playing in this concert. A great musician (and a beautiful soul), went on to great success in LA as a studio musician.

Paul was my brother-in-law; We played several concerts together. Shortly after that (1978) I was offered a keyboard position with a band, instead I  recommended Paul .. he flew off the LA and lived a great life.
 

 
Paul's CD -  "A God That Can Dance"

Great, great music. Wide-ranging...
Hard rock, beautiful ballads, New Age, Happy, Sad, Joyous, Playful, Deep. Wonderful.

read my review of this CD

I begin "Digital Sound Synthesis" on an IBM 360 (and 370) Mainframe computer. This, my D.M.A. dissertation, was translated into a C program for Windows (PC application) and I moved into computer programming and database design.

My first synthesizer was a Putney VCS3 with keyboard. (provided by Dwight Tindle) 

Later I had a great system with Buchla, Moog, Arp, Emu, etc. components. This picture is my Buchla (200 Series with the 208 Complex Oscillator Module , Easel , Sequencer etc.

Initially I worked analyzing and duplicating the sounds (timbre, envelopes, transients etc.) of tradional orchestral instruments. Then I worked on creating novel sounds that had never been heard before.

My Tribute to Dwight

Later I studied the effects of sound on the human body, psyche and subtle bodies.

The electronic/computer work is now being combined with my meditation and metaphysical studies.

Healing Sound is a current interest.
