Born 1960 in Göttingen.

Whilst my friend asked for a Bass Player back in 1974, I immedialtly joined the Band "Stinky Feet", nowing nothing about playing an Instrument.
I took over the Bands right hand Bass and tried it to play in this way.
I discovered very quick, that something is wrong. So I swapped the Bass to the left hand side and it felt much better.
I learned playing by myself and played a right hand Bass (Ibanez
Roadster) with org. String Setting over 10 years.

After stopping playing Music and selling all equipment (how stupid) in the 80´s, when our Band "Rosa Nüsse" splitted off, I discovered 2006 in the company I work for, that there are several guys who wanted to make some music. I baught new Basses, this time Lefty´s and founded the Band of our Company.

It was a hard job, to teach my brain, that the strings are "upside down" now.

In the meantime, my Stinky Feet friend came along again, asking for a
Bass Player. Of course, I was ready to join the Band "Young & Rich"

And here I am now, farely 50 years old and enthusiastic as never before!
