Darrell Finkeldei

Doctor “D” (aka Darrell Finkeldei) was born and raised in extreme southwest Kansas. The Doctor will tell you that part of Kansas is known as being “not the edge of the world, but so close you can see it from there”. As a little boy he used to rock out Santana tunes on an old Hammond organ located in the balcony of his home town church. Later, and somewhat older, “D” put together his first band called the “Living Moire” (Google it…lol). He was a founding member of the widely popular Kansas band “John Fitzwater and Country Fever”. Then the regionally popular St. Louis band “All Mixed Up”. The rest is, as the Doctor says, “in the books, ancient history books.”
