My Name is Paul Beach...

by Me

That should be 'nuf said, since I epitomize my name and it does likewise for me.

But!
I have written an entire book about myself and my fantastic life and it simply wouldn't fit here, not that it was an exhaustive treatise by any measure. Music has always been my life!

I started playing saxophone when I was eleven. I practiced a couple of hours every day without fail, because there weren’t any really killer gaming consoles around our house in 1979. When I got into junior high I could smoke every other sax player in the school band.

I have to thank a girl named Kerrie for inadvertently getting me started on bass in seventh grade. She was a little hottie that played violin in the orchestra, and I wanted to have at least one class with her. Originally I wanted to pick up violin, but the orchestra teacher said that the only way I could get into orchestra at that late date was to play stringed bass, as the orchestra didn’t have a bassist. I agreed, practiced my bass AND sax two hours a day, and fooled my teachers into thinking that they had a prodigy on their hands. Kerrie was also impressed. I did eventually get with her after high school. But, alas, it was a short-lived romance. She was a nice girl, and I am a scoundrel.

I was fortunate to attend a high school on a magnet program – Thomas Jefferson High School for the Performing Arts in Portland, Oregon. At JHS I received fantastic musical coaching; I learned to play guitar, and several other instruments. Plus there were girls running around in dance tights all the time; it was most excellent!

I have worked as a professional musician since I was seventeen. I’ve played country western, rockabilly, lounge gigs, and T-40. I’ve made a decent living doing all that, but I was always been envious of those lucky dudes that played bad-boy, pussy-getting rock-n-roll from the decade when bad-boy, pussy-getting rock-n-roll was at its decadent, over-indulgent best – the ‘80’s! Now I’m finally doing it, too. Thank You, Stiletto!

I got into production in my early twenties. Over the years I have built up my equipment empire, and now I have a recording studio where I pound out the originals, mostly jazz. I am a sax player first, after all.

It has taken me a long time, but at last I can finally say - I'm right! Don't ask me how it is that I can fancy myself wise enough to say such a thing at the tender age of thirty-six... I don't know. All I can say is - I know I'm right!

With that, I leave you with this one thought - There is no greater endeavor than the quest for immortality, because time renders all else immaterial!

Thanks and have a great day!
