B and P Music (US)
I'm a keyboardist from the Chicago area. Because of the years, there are many, many influences I pull from, everyone from Three Dog Night to Chrystal Method, but my roots are strong in guitar/keyboard based rock and blue/rock. This sites is an avenue for personal/solo material and collaborations, many styles will be exhibited as the site matures, and more music is posted.

Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Between my Freshman and Sophmore college years, I thought it would be fun to play music / play rock stars, especially since I could play piano a little. Well, I never do anything small, and within a year (1974-1975) or so, there I was, in a big loud R/R band. By the early eighties, I decided that it was over, time for carrers, family, and now it's my hobby.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I gave that stuff up long time ago.
but it would be fun to do again.
I do play at church every Sunday.
