I have been actively involved in music practically my entire life, whether it be in the local church choir, a cappella quartets, family gatherings, and so on.

My guitar roots started with a big old 6-string Harmony guitar, which later grew into playing bass guitar with Ray, mostly due to the fact that he could not find a bass player who could sing.

We went the usual routes, different people being added to and subtracted from the core group, including drummers, singers, harmonica players and guitar players, always trying to find the right musical path. But Ray and I always stuck together because we always had the same outlook on music - to play what we were comfortable with and to have great harmonies, but most importantly have fun and play, play, play.

This time around we decided to go it alone as a duo and I do believe we have made the right decision.

The name "Dawg Fish" was derived from two sources - both Ray and I are both owned by two dogs each, who even let us reside with them and we both enjoy fishing a lot, hence the name "Dawg Fish".

Post note on above, our Beloved Sparkie dog passed over the "Rainbow Bridge" in April, 2007, joining Ray's terrific dog Lincoln, they are running pain-free together on the other side of the bridge.

Along the way we have had several bands with anywhere from 3 to 6 members, but no other musician has ever had the connection that Randy and I have. Feeling the urge to get back into music publicly I was happy to hear band-mate Randy had the same musical desire.

With 6 and 12 string guitars, banjo, harmonica and vocals, we formed "Dawg Fish" with the intent of playing the music " You Grew Up With". For both Randy and I this has been a great deal of fun and the positive response has made this most rewarding.
