i've been on the road all my life (in cover bands),,wanted to put my ideas out there and not be pegged into just one style,,I want to do soundtracks,country,blues,jazz,rock, prog,,,what ever i feel like at the time,,,,I've been exposed to so much music over my life time,,I want to give back to others to enjoy
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
this could take some time,,lol,,played tenor sax in a jazz combo,playing weddings -nursing homes,ball games,,anywhere we could,,,then played bass in rock bands,got on a tour playing air force bases,,then wanted more money,,so I went on the road playing bass In country bands,,,then switched to keyboards and played on the casino circuit,,,finally..got tired of all the drama of working with others and decided to go it my own,where i call the shots,,got a pc and cubase4,,and here I am,,lol
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
