When I went to high school the only good musicians were in the school's jazz band. I didn't want to play jazz, I wanted to rock out! I ended up in a variety of bands playing all over. Here is an early picture of me playing on my highly customized Hammond B3 organ. The small box on top of it was a theremin I had built from a kit. Rock on, dude! The photo was taken at a huge rock concert on Venice beach in southern California. I was also in bands that opened for groups such as Great White and Elton John. So when it comes to rock and roll, I know it. For a time, I lived in a small apartment right next to the famous Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. If you want to see where I lived, get a

When he was four, Hagar saw a floating car with no wheels that was kicking up a dust storm in the desert. He remembers throwing rocks at it, but has no recollection of what happened after.  Hagar's alien

This is a special notice for all of my friends in the Southern California Area. Starting this Friday, March 25, I am teaching a certification course in hypnosis. This is not a typical metaphysical class where you spend a couple of hours. This is a full training, involving 60 hours of in-class work and 40 hours of homework.

This is the most complete training ever offered to the metaphysical community in Los Angeles. I realize that people in our community have been hit
