I found my way to the Blues stage at the first Ann Arbor Blues Fest, in 1969, and was completely smitten. Getting to play at such an important milestone festival had my head spinning. That was my awakening to the Blues, and I couldn\u2019t have been among a better line-up: Big Mama Thornton, Luther Allison, Son House, Muddy Waters, BB King, Freddie King, Lightnin\u2019 Hopkins,<\/strong> and the list went on and on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solidified into the Detroit music scene, I found my calling, but it was to be a bit elusive. While I continued my music education over the years, I was also free to pursue another of my loves, acting, where I was able to snag two different life-changing musical plays: Hair<\/strong> and Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band On The Road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having been in Hair afforded me the opportunity to land a recording contract with Motown Records \u2013 Rare Earth Records<\/strong>, along with Meatloaf<\/strong>, to record our duo album Stoney And Meatloaf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right after the recording of the record, \u201cStoney and Meatloaf\u201d, Motown<\/strong> moved out to Los Angeles taking me with them. After a short stay in LA, I got back in touch with Bob Seger\u2019s<\/strong> manager, Punch Andrews, and it just so happened, Bob was, again, looking for a singer. So I headed back to the music scene I was so familiar with, Detroit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with the recording of Katmandu<\/strong>, under the pseudonym, Stoney<\/strong>. I was in Detroit and, again, working with Bob and his band; The Borneo Band, along with some of the Silver Bullet boys, Chris Campbell, Alto Reed, and Drew Abbott, and throw in a couple of Tulsa boys: Jamie Oldaker and Dick Sims, along with my pal Marcy Levy (Marcella Detroit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Bob Seger<\/strong> decided to take some time off the road, I was contacted again by my old friend, Marcy Levy, (of Leon Russell and Eric Clapton fame) that Eric Clapton<\/strong> was doing a record with Phil Collins<\/strong> producing, and would I be interested in coming to Montserrat<\/strong> to record the backing vocals on his \u2018Behind The Sun\u2019<\/strong> album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience was thrilling; to get back to my roots, and with the \u2018guitar god\u2019 himself. I, of course, said yes! We recorded this great record, and after the first song, Eric asked me if I\u2019d like to do the tour, it was too good to be true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also toured with the great band, The Moody Blues, Justin Hayword<\/strong>, along with Naomi Star and Shaun Murphy on The Moody Blues Tour<\/strong>
Back on the road with Seger<\/strong>, with hardly a couple of weeks off from Clapton<\/strong>, with his 86 tour, I met up with Bill Payne and Fred Tackett, two of the members of the legendary band Little Feat<\/strong>. As tours go, making friends comes easy and when the tour was over, Bill Payne asked me to sing some things on their new re-grouped band\u2019s CD, Let It Roll, Representing The Mambo, and Shake Me Up<\/strong> as a backing vocalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encontr\u00e9 mi camino hacia el escenario de blues en el primer Ann Arbor Blues Fest, en 1969, y qued\u00e9 completamente enamorado. Tocar en un festival tan importante me hizo dar vueltas la cabeza. Ese fue mi despertar al blues, y no podr\u00eda haber estado entre una mejor formaci\u00f3n: Big Mama Thornton, Luther Allison, Son House, Muddy Waters, BB King, Freddie King, Lightnin' Hopkins, y la lista segu\u00eda. y en.

Solidificado en la escena musical de Detroit, encontr\u00e9 mi vocaci\u00f3n, pero iba a ser un poco esquiva. Si bien continu\u00e9 mi educaci\u00f3n musical a lo largo de los a\u00f1os, tambi\u00e9n tuve la libertad de dedicarme a otro de mis amores, la actuaci\u00f3n, donde pude conseguir dos obras musicales diferentes que me cambiaron la vida: Hair y Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band en la carretera

Haber estado en Hair me brind\u00f3 la oportunidad de conseguir un contrato de grabaci\u00f3n con Motown Records \u2013 Rare Earth Records, junto con Meatloaf, para grabar nuestro \u00e1lbum d\u00fao Stoney And Meatloaf.

Inmediatamente despu\u00e9s de la grabaci\u00f3n del disco \u201cStoney and Meatloaf\u201d, Motown se mud\u00f3 a Los \u00c1ngeles y me llev\u00f3 con ellos. Despu\u00e9s de una breve estancia en Los \u00c1ngeles, volv\u00ed a ponerme en contacto con el manager de Bob Seger, Punch Andrews, y result\u00f3 que Bob, nuevamente, estaba buscando un cantante. As\u00ed que regres\u00e9 a la escena musical con la que estaba tan familiarizado, Detroit.

Empezando por la grabaci\u00f3n de Katmandu, bajo el seud\u00f3nimo de Stoney. Estaba en Detroit y, nuevamente, trabajando con Bob y su banda; The Borneo Band, junto con algunos de los chicos de Silver Bullet, Chris Campbell, Alto Reed y Drew Abbott, y agregan un par de chicos de Tulsa: Jamie Oldaker y Dick Sims, junto con mi amiga Marcy Levy (Marcella Detroit).

Cuando Bob Seger decidi\u00f3 tomarse un tiempo fuera de la carretera, mi viejo amigo, Marcy Levy, (famoso por Leon Russell y Eric Clapton) me contact\u00f3 nuevamente para decirme que Eric Clapton estaba haciendo un disco con Phil Collins como productor y que me interesar\u00eda. en venir a Montserrat para grabar los coros de su disco 'Behind The Sun'.

La experiencia fue emocionante; para volver a mis ra\u00edces y con el mism\u00edsimo \u201cdios de la guitarra\u201d. \u00a1Yo, por supuesto, dije que si! Grabamos este gran disco y, despu\u00e9s de la primera canci\u00f3n, Eric me pregunt\u00f3 si me gustar\u00eda hacer la gira. \u00a1Era demasiado bueno para ser verdad!
Tambi\u00e9n realiz\u00f3 una gira con la gran banda The Moody Blues, Justin Hayword, junto con Naomi Star y Shaun Murphy en The Moody Blues Tour.
De vuelta a la carretera con Seger, con apenas un par de semanas de descanso de Clapton, con su gira 86, me reun\u00ed con Bill Payne y Fred Tackett, dos de los miembros de la m\u00edtica banda Little Feat. A medida que avanzan las giras, hacer amigos es f\u00e1cil y cuando termin\u00f3 la gira, Bill Payne me pidi\u00f3 que cantara algunas cosas en el CD de su nueva banda reagrupada, Let It Roll, en representaci\u00f3n de The Mambo y Shake Me Up como corista.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
