I grew up around music and musicians. But it wasn't until the
summer of 1983 that I seriously considered playing an instrument. My dad was a professional
drummer and he taught me how to play. In 1983 I met Ken Swanger, a beginning guitarist,
and we formed the band The Oath. We have been playing professionally full-time ever since
our first professional gig in 1985. I also handle the bands bookings and business.
We've released several independent efforts of original material, and were the featured artists
on a major South Carolina radio station. We won the Rock 101 best band search, in the classic
rock category, and were included on the compilation album "An Hour From Atlanta To Charlotte".
We also had a song included on the compilation album "Full Measure Of Devotion". We have
performed in eleven states, and played every kind of gig imaginable. I love playing in
The Oath, and can't wait to see what the future holds!

The Story Of The Planet Lynn
Many, many eons later....
The earth became unbearably warm.
The surface turned toastly black
from the approaching scorching sun.
Slowly the people migrated in groups into tunnels
dug deep beneath the earth's surface.
The oceans, now shallow and evaporating,
boiled from the heat of the sun.
A new life below, a new civilization,
all people were equal.
All were truly equal, all were to become one.
One strong united band of the human race,
the race of LYNN.
Material possessions and prestige no longer mattered.
All things were equal and at one with each other.
All were LYNN--
All things were LYNN--all places were LYNN.
The old earth expired, the new was just dawning.
In the years to come
the people would dream of the day
they would return to the surface
and reclaim their domain, but under a stronger reign--
the reign, the power, the strength and desire of
LYNNNNNNNNN!
