And, I am glad to have been there for the golden years of that city! I loved San Francisco! It was where I found out who I was and what I could become. In 1991, my "Guardian Angel" tapped me on the shoulder telling me it was time for a trip back home (back east) and a reassessment of where I was on life's trail. That place was the last where I played records. Now in my mid thirties and my porn career starting to slow down a bit, I took on the mantle of " Electronics Maven of Castro Street!" I still played music on Sunday nights at Moby Dick Bar through my connection with my friend and the manager, Michael Goglia. A "Regular Job" fell out of the sky through my friend and salesman Harold Banks at Eber electronics. Towards the end of my four-year engagement at the Badlands, I began to tire of bar life and being up all night. (I quickly found out that I was not the kind of DJ that played all through the night and into the morning hours!) I stayed with that venue for a year or so. I was summoned to perform for "Easter Sunday Tea Dance" in 1980. Two of my friends who were an integral part of that club, Roy Shapiro and Michael Maier, heard my tapes. But, I certainly cannot leave out the night club Dreamland from the list. sometimes the tape was never even heard! I played at a couple of noteworthy establishments in San Francisco's Castro District - namely The Badlands, the Phoenix and finally Moby Dick Bar. (Don't think I didn't I didn't use that to my advantage!) So, when I showed up with my demo tape of my music in person. I had the unique fortune to be reaching a high point in my porn career at the same time. It started off with making cassette tapes for friends and "getting the word out!" The pin money and odd jobs helped me scrape enough together to buy a fairly recent model FIAT 124 Spider!įiat 124 Spider and Will's following car, a Peugeot 504 All of this was for the purpose of teaching myself how to be a DJ. So, one of my first outlays with the pin money was for a pair of turntables, a mixer and a modest sound system. In terms of the clubs, I always wanted to play music. I worked in several gyms and gay clubs in town over the years. Now, being that this was not nearly enough money to support myself, (especially living in the fair city of San Francisco), I always kept myself gainfully employed with what I called my regular job, as well. Will Seagers in a Man's Image calendar & on the cover of the first issue of Playguyġ978 Target calendar & a Target magazine in connection with Bullet's Cowpokes I didn't complain - I figured out rather quickly from my first few shoots what the going rates were for the more notable studios. Not much money was to be gotten from these adventures. Names like Man's Image, Target and Falcon are first to come to mind. When I first started, it was in print medium - mags, calendars and the like. Most people involved were there to create a medium that was intended to make the viewer have fun! It WAS always a great deal of fun to make porn - whether it be print or film. I have always considered my excursion into the porn business as one of sex and pleasure (and some notoriety), and not one of great financial gains.
