I am 46-year-old musician who keeps his music to himself for the most part. I was slated to be a concert pianist until a farm accident in 1991. After that I no longer performed. It wasn't until 10-12 years later that I regained sensation in my left hand, and I began to write music. I will never have the skill I did pre-accident so I write in tracks and then mix them. As such, I cannot perform anymore. Initially, I thought this was a downer thing, but I now love writing music like this as it leads me to New Age music. If you knew me, you would never guess I write New Age. I find music to be necessary to life - even critical.Band/artist history
Defining me as the band, I started classical piano lessons when I was five and followed through all the way through high school. During that time I also learned pretty much all the other common instruments with the exception of stringed instrtuments. I started performing at evening services of my church and was soon playing evey weekend at a different church. I performed for several events at my school and also for a couple of weddings. It wasn't until after high school when I started giving the formal concerts/recitals and even then it was still mostly in churches. I was taking organ lessons so I would put on organ recitals at any church that would let me. After that, I played a few timed in Hudson's (now known as Marshall Fields), Amway Grand Plaza, and two summer time festivals. I gave my biggest concert at a very well known local church. Less than 24 hours after my last concert I had a farm accident with extensive injuries to my left hand requiring multiple surgeries. I now have the use of my hand back, but it is only about 85% of what it once was. After giving up on music for about 7 years, I purchased a cheap Yamaha PSR 195, and it has all started again. Now music is a huge part of my life as it once was.Have you performed in front of an audience?No more live concerts. I play for my family and those close to me. The last performance I did was at my wedding in 2011 when I played Lisa's song for my wife on our wedding day.

shalom opus,
thanks for gettin back. i thought "Opus 19" is just a little to short. i think i have listened to it about 5 or 6 times, and every time i lean back to get into it, it is over. : ) it leaves yu wanting.. good work. also listened to "One More Fix", i like. with all the refs. on the artist page, about the house, i was hoping u were still in. keep your eyes up. we are here.

What up Fam! Mytic Mysterious showing the luv! I'm feelin your music! I "VOTED HOT" Stay up Hommie! Check out my new beat Stop Doggin Me!
It's a sound of Electric Grand Piano (from NI Kontakt's Library).I agree,however,that it can be mistaken for Hammond.The Bass-part on it at the left side of stereo-field might be a thing that differentiate them.I was just kiddin' overally...thought it was funny.......LOL!
Keep it Cool!
