Bio / Background
Pronounce it Dy-fik.
I'm a musician. I play harmonica, guitar, I sing, I write songs.
When I was a kid I played in the coffeehouses and nightclubs of Greenwich Village. I then moved to Nashville and played harmonica on recordings, worked for a time with Marty Robbins, and played in those middle-of-nowhere honky tonks where glass gets broken on purpose. I couldn't have liked it more.
I moved back to New York in 1977. Leiber & Stoller hired me to work for them. The idea that it was Leiber & Stoller and that I was working in the Brill Building masked the fact that I was suddenly a Suit. It took about a year before that started giving me the heebie-jeebies. Leiber & Stoller are cooler than the other side of the pillow, and they could hardly be better guys to work for, but I was really glad that my gig phone was also ringing.
I played music in the downtown music scene, recorded with Laurie Anderson and worked in one of the earliest New Wave bands, the Love Of Life Orchestra.
↓ more ↓Phillip Glass wrote his only harmonica music for me. My background in honky tonks served me well.
I also played on the great guitarist Arlen Roth's first record, and played with Andy Statman, whom I had played with when we were hotshot teenagers. Andy was just beginning to morph into the great Klezmer and Jazz musician that he has become. I also performed with the poet Kenward Elmslie at museums and art galleries up and down the east coast. The last day I lived in New York I performed with him at the Museum of Modern Art.
I moved to Los Angeles in 1981, played on soundtracks, jingles, radio ID's and even the occasional surf punk record. I also wrote film scripts and created the cable show 'Inside Out' for Propaganda Films. In the '90's I also performed as half of the duo called the vonBrellas, with the great singer Christie Houser. When she sings, glasses that are about to break think twice.
I still live in LA, with my wife Rebecca Bonar. She's an actor, producer, director, writer and a brilliant wit who has cracked me up several times a day for more than 25 years. You should be so lucky.
Somewhere along the line I got good at computers, which led me to having 'something to fall back on,' which led me to fall back onto it. Much later I stepped through a portal and became a corporate technical writer.
If you've been a musician most of your life, there comes a point when being a corporate technical writer is simply unacceptable, even though it's good, clean work. I blew out of that scene and went back to what I'm really supposed to be doing, writing and playing music for you.
I've made a new CD called 'Music For Small Audience.' I named it that on account of I felt like naming it that.
Try doing that as a corporate technical writer.
