Greets all! Manti Blades here Bassist of psychobilly band --> FRITZ & the Side EffectZ

I'm here to share some of my music & experiences of being a musician in a PsychoBilly Rock Band.
And also to share some of my crafts and other hobbies.. Music , magics, target shooting on the range, crafts I make from foraged treasure hunts ... but first

My name on my birth certificate reads Emantha Cardiel, but Manti (Man tee) was the name my grand mother gave me it's what I went by growing up and in school. Manti Cardiel the Blades is new to me.....

Now this is a shot in the dark but anyone know of a band from mid 1960'S called DRONES out of California bay area and LA? Supposedly had lots of televised appearances, and concerts on regular and local televised stations. I never met my dad and I was told by my mother when I was a kid and started asking questions that he had died. I recently found his brother online and I was told that was not true.
He went by Ronnie Cardiel but he was adopted and his real birth name was Roland Blades. He was the lead singer, writer & guitarist of the band DRONES . And was last seen by his family in 1987 hanging out with his best friend Alan Wade. Also my brother recently found out his real dad is George Tickner the original rhythm guitarist of the rock band Journey. They actually got to meet it was a great outcome for them George got to meet his son and his grandchildren for the first time. so I am hoping I should be so lucky in my search of finding my dad. I am very much looking forward to meeting and being a part of the Steem community.
