After experiencing New England's Blizzard of '78 while serving as nursing director at the Fall River/New Bedford Center for Alcohol Problems (now known as SSTAR), I opted for a warm weather travel nurse assignment to New Orleans. Thus began 20 wild and rocking years of Big Easy fun.
In mid-October of 1998, a sudden and decisive move was made to Austin, Texas. Everyone visiting Austin should make it a point to catch the wonderful live music scene of central Texas.
During my tenure touring as drummer with legendary folk singer Glenn Yarbrough, I continued performing and recording with various Texas and New Orleans bands. I am featured percussionist on the Limeliters latest CD.
Following a fun filled thirty year journey, I've completed the circle, returning home to the south coast of New England, surrounded by family and old friends. I am a registered nurse at a nonprofit community health service agency, serving as clinical instructor in a Certified Nursing Assistant program. I am also enrolled at the University of Massachusetts/Dartmouth with their BSN program.
I look forward to continuing my Austin and New Orleans traditions of organizing musical parties, jams and gigs. Meanwhile, frequent musical visits back to the Big Easy help keep the musical gumbo percolating. Laissez le Bon Ton Roulez! See ya there every Mardi Gras...Steve.
