historical background

Plucky had a hard time finding other musicians to play reggae music.  A Jamaican artist he played for turned out to be involved in the cocaine business, so he left.  He spent his time landscaping, plucking weeds and digging roots instead of plucking guitars and playing the roots...

His uncle died and so he moved out to the family farm. 
He hoped to make a new life for himself in organic farmingHe managed a deal for a foundation to be laid for a new house.   He was about to save his grandparents family legacy, a place to start a family of his own.  However the farm was sold to the evil owner of the neighboring farm before he had a chance.  The neighbor tried to steal their farm equipment and Plucky helped save it.  Plucky always tried to do what was right, even against the odds. 

Plucky later turned a 5 acre plot of
downed trees and brambles into a beautiful park, virtually free of stickers.   He was like a gardening Ninja, giving maximum effort.  After 10 summers of service without a raise and seeing high school kids hired at the same wage, he walked away from his trail park job and back to music.

Undaunted, and s
howing real "pluck", he answered a radio ad to join a reggae band and accomplished a lot of the stellar guitar work heard on the Octaman Rock of Offence CD.

Plucky never gives up.  The first member to join, he is the heart of the band.

"And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air {have} nests,
but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."" Luke 9:58 NASB



Sports Team of interest:  Seattle Supersonics.  Plucky is a solid point guard, and predicted in 2002 that the Sonics would leave town under a curse for their "foul" treatment of "the glove" Gary Payton!


Areas of interest:  Plucky is the keeper of "Zorn", Octaman's faithful lookout, and is the protector of the Seahawk nesting ground!  He is curator of the Live Seahawks Cam and install project in cooperation with Washington State Dept. of Fish and Wildlife.  He has created a live bird action dvd featuring the wild osprey/seahawks, available with a donation.

Plucky is engaged in conservation efforts to save wildlife habitat.  You can read his commentaries at "Octa-views".

Everything Plucky did, and everything he does, has been without financial reward,
in search of a global audience for this cause:

ONE LOVE, ONE AIM, ONE HOPE, ONE DESTINY, ONE GOD:

YaHWeH the God of Israel!

"Extol Him by HIS Name..."YAH" Psalm 68:4
