I play gigs on occasion when I find the will and the way.
The band line up usually changes every year.
Everybody that has played in the F.D.s have been super musicians and very kind people.
I hope to have some live audio/video posted eventually.

Welcome to the Funky Dolphins Web Page News I hope to have a CD out in the near future.....time and funds permitting. There is a ton of music to go through.Enough to fill 2 or 3 CDs, which makes it more difficult. I honestly think there will be a lot of really good stuff on there.Stay tuned. For now, lots of odds and ends, ideas,cover tunes, things that I probably won't get back to, etc, are presented here on this site. Note-I have moved all the cover tunes to my Youtube channel.They will link to it automatically. General Info This page is devoted to some of the songs I have created. I am very interested in producing original music. Most of the works are independent creations by me solely though there are a few where others were involved in their production and/or creation. It would take much too long to explain all the songs and my thoughts about them. I'll note where I can. Some songs are dramatic, funny, odd, and just plain strange,I'll leave that to your imagination to decide. I also build vacuum tube guitar amplifiers as a serious hobby/addiction, some of which are used on these tunes. Click here to view http://www.lenstaramps.com/ Peace to all out there.

John's Mess	Here's what happens when I tell my friends to "leave a BRIEF message" on my answering machine.
Photos-under construction I play gigs on occasion when I find the will and the way. The band line up usually changes every year. Everybody that has played in the F.D.s have been super musicians and very kind people. I hope to have some live audio/video posted eventually.
	Watashi
	The "Cheap Trick" gig 2009. Picture 1-the entire line up, this time Picture 2- me Picture 3-Mr. "ST" Tsunashima.(He is "guitar George" and does know all the chords)
	The "Elvis" gig
	Castle outdoor gig.100 degrees, power failures galore, etc. Still turned out okay.
	This theatre was very nice to play in. It was brand new. Cork floors, the whole bit, and loud!
	A friend of mine has a restaurant and we played there. A nice mellow/blues type show.
	An ad.
	Outdoor "punk rock" gig
	I can't even remember the name of this band .I got together with my good Brit pal Andrew and we put together a band.Pics from a Xmas gig in Osaka.It was really fun .People really enjoyed our version of YMCA.
	My father Joseph Ott-composer.In his studio circa mid-70s.I spent time there as a kid hanging out. Fond memories of experiencing hi-tech stuff of that time such as quad-sound,analog synths, etc. In general, I'd be doing some real hands on goofing off.
