专辑简介

My Mother ~ Gladys gave birth to me in January of 1948. She had Bohemian Gypsy blood in her Family lines, of which I proudly inherited. Music was in our Soul! But wait! Let's not go back that far!! When I first heard Cozy Cole's 45 RPM (Topsy part 1 and 2) in the '60's, I was Mesmerized by the way he played the Drums. I just had to have a Drum Set. She got me one and I played and played, out in the Garage! Two twin Brother's down the street (Greg & Guy McElroy) got Guitars for Xmas and we had a band! Hugh Gaskins joined us later on and we played party's and Prom Dances! After I got out of the Army in 1971, we got back together and started a new Band called "Streetnoise". We played the San Diego Nightclubs for many years and became thee best Blues/Rock Band in Town! Wolfman Jack was a huge Fan!! Eventually, we burned out! Too much Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll!!!!! I left the Music business for over 24 years. I continued to write Music but did not perform for the Public. Then, due to an unusual set of circumstances, I ran into Hugh while I was back in San Diego. He was still Rockin' the Town with his Energetic and Unique style. He agreed to make a CD with me of my "stuff" (and some of his). In 2006, we released Gaskins N' Gunner ~ "Back on Track". Check it out for a musical Ride!! Hugh did not join me on this project, so I went it alone. All of the Instruments are played by me except for the Lead Guitar's on some of the Songs. I recorded it on a Tascam MKII Portastudio in my Xtra Bedroom, with the total support of my Beautiful Wife, Marcy (who used to come and watch us play in Streetnoise)!! So, kick back ~ pour a little Crown Royal (or your preference) and take a musical journey down the previously undiscovered Depth of my Gypsy Mind!! Thanx, Mom! I know you're listening!! Rock on, gunner....
