1976 - 1996 Pantego Sound
Audio Engineer / Owner (1992 - 1996 )
In 1976 I took a production workshop from owner Charles Stewart and Engineer Jerry Abbott. After that, basically, I never left. I credit these two guys for giving me a chance to achieve my dream. I helped Abbott on rhythm tracks of records he produced, and helped Stewart record song demos and artist demos on guys like Danny Wood who Charles signed with RCA and had charted hits! Charles and Jerry were constantly writing and working on song demos and I learned from them. Jerry Abbott moved to Nashville in 1991 and I took over the building and continued until 1996.
