"So you want to know how it all happened? It started on Main Street in Mendocino, Ca 27 years ago when we first met.
I was cooking chicken soup in my van across from Alphonso's when a woman, I thought maybe a vision at first, passed the window
of my Dodge van.
That was it. My sworn single days were over right before my eyes. The rest is history. I was the Abalone Kid then. We became
"The Abalone Kids" making abalone jewelry that 4 years later was discovered by The Smithsonian Institution of Wash, D.C and
exhibited at The National Museum of American Art."
First off we want to tell you that if you like our creativity we confess to being humbled by our success. To be frank,
we didn't have a clue to begin with as to how to make jewelry. We were professional people. In fact we both had many good
years under our belt in the world of big business. Imagine, only God could have done this for us...we learned from scratch.

WHY ABALONE?
We know abalone and are certain its gem quality is very valuable. You will see that our collection of wild red, green
and black abalone has no equal in the world. No one has explored the coastal areas of the western hemisphere like we have
salvaging from extinction rare abalone pieces and a most valuable artifact of the 20th Century. After 24 years of experience
with abalone we can guarantee it.
THE ABALONE KID'S INSPIRATIONAL CD GOES TO 128 NATIONS WORLDWIDE
GO TO "The Gospel of Jesus Christ in Praise Songs, Scripture and Spoken Words"
Street singer, evangelist and friend to the homeless, he's done many years on the road counseling people in need.
Along the way discovered abalone shells on Al Capone's old beach that he and his wife create into abalone jewelry.
His music and lyrics are for real. He performed in the cabaret. The legendary John Hammond, Sr. of jazz and CBS fame, who
helped launch Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, wanted to produce him. Nat Weiss, Esq who handled James Taylor,
Cat Stevens, and worked with Brian Epstein of The Beatles fame, wanted him too. Sid Bernstein wanted to promote him.
He chose the street rather then the stage.
"HE IS COMING" is the gospel of Jesus Christ and a tribute to God The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. Acoustic arrangements
with jazz, pop, rock and symphonic overtones and out front full gospel lyrics project the message. He says what he means
and takes you on a journey to a newer world and God's Golden City, New Jerusalem.
