./BioFolder/floyd_bio_photo.gif (469kb) At a young age and by the hand of his guitar-slinging father, Floyd learned the in's and outs of the local music scene. At that time, the Calumet Region was a hot bed of local musicians, nightclubs and festivals. It was not uncommon for musicians to play every night of the week. As the times have changed, so have the heyday's of the Calumet Region.

Entering the mid-teen years brought an expanding interest in musical styles that led to many side projects. "Playing rock one day and straight country the next was like laughing with the sinners and singing with the saints", says Floyd. One day, a friend labeled him "The Chameleon", because of his ability to change styles and fit in to any situation. Over the years, Floyd played a variety of music with several bands: The Versatiles, Street Level, The County line Band, Southbound, The John Kuiper Band, Gary Lee Kirkpatrick, Mystique, St Johns Praise Band, Guilty As Charged, Branded Heart, Lonnie Brooks, etc. Often, Floyd would gig and do sessions with other bands when he wasn't with his own.

Floyd has experienced many other music related occupations, such as, Guitar Repair and Fabrication, Guitar Technician, Audio Communications and Networking, FOH Engineer and Studio Production.

"Putting this project together with Bob and Dean has been a pleasure. We are all on the same level and have the same perspective on where music and life meet", says Floyd.
