Blackjack

1982 - 1983

Despite leaving Black Water under not so good circumstances, Dave McCoy asked me to join his new band, BlackJack. Lynn, who had never sang in a band before, was absolutely tremendous. At about 5' 2" tall, she had one of the biggest voices I've ever heard and could sing Pat Benetar, Linda Ronstadt & Stevie Nicks with ease. Kent was a veteran musician who had been around playing in bands for several years. Dave Claussen was a band teacher in a small town in Nebraska and knew all there was to know about music. Even though the music wasn't exactly what I wanted to play, this was a fun band and I cherish the memories I have with these people.
