The words to the great Dan Fogelberg tune "The Leader Of The Band" fit my musical bio perfectly. My father was a sax and clarinet player, and he led a group called Newell's Harmony Four (members included my dad, my grandmother, and my great aunt) that played every Friday night for years at the Golden Age Center in tiny Vernal, Utah. They played classic jazz standards and older country, and that gave me a great exposure to all types and styles of music. I decided to learn an instrument in the 5th grade, picking up the French Horn, an instrument that I will always love... but in high school, I started getting these song ideas in my head, and it became clear that the Horn was a tough device to create an entire orchestration with... so I taught myself to play the piano (while driving Mr. Applonie, my beloved music teacher, completely nuts with my flakiness)... That led me to synthesizers in the late 1980's, and I have been ignoring every other detail around me ever since... much to the frustration of my siblings and ex - wife... So now, when I walk out to check the mail, and I have 4 - 5 different song ideas rattling around in my brain all at once, I have an outlet, and you get to hear the sometimes excited results.... Enjoy me, and share me if you feel so inclined.... peace and light.... Anthony

Take the piano work of David Lanz, the dance and pop electronica grooves of Moby, the Smooth Jazz feel of Take Six and Kenny G., and blend in the funk of Prince and a few drops of Sarah Brightman's neo - classical sounds, and you have an idea of what I have put together here...
