Just me and my Studio. :)
Do you play live?
I have played live in the past but when you're a pianist, the equipment thing gets a little trying. I do have portable equipment but still..... Any Special Moments? I recently played at a funeral service and didn't leave a dry eye in the house. Particularly when they realized the service was being held for the co-composer of the song that I played.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It clearly allows musicians like me get their music out there. Whether it's ever heard by the right people isn't the concern, it's available to be heard by the masses if pointed in the right direction.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Are you kidding me........ and leave all this....... ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!
Your influences?
David Benoit, Jim Brickman, Phil Ackerman, Liz Story, Bruce Hornsby, Billy Joel, and I can't forget the person who writes the the lyrics and music to those hilarious Budwieser radio commercials.
Favorite spot?
Favorite Spot has to be my families Cabin in Northern Michigan, (Kidd Rock understands). Favorite city has to be Boulder, CO. The climate, the culture, and all the great people watching.

-Yamaha C5 grand piano with a Disclavier and a midi.
-Roland Fantom G8 Workstation (newly acquired)
