Chris grew up listening to his dad play the pipe organ, and really dug the deep bass notes. He also was found dancing in front of tiny, little, very tinny stereo speakers that were blasting old Simon & Garfunkel. To this day, Chris LOVES "The Boxer," and can often be heard saying "groovy" (as in "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)").

Chris' epiphany moment came in the summer of 1975 when he first heard Roxy Music's "Love is the Drug." That was the beginning of his quest for music that had such power and emotion.

Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo,
Feelin' groovy.
