I do, fund raising for worthy charities in Indianapolis. Henle And The Loops.

My musical influences are widely varied, from Duke Ellington to The Who and James Brown to the Beatles I find happiness in most tunes played by good musicians. George Harrison wrote the most honest and touching tunes. Coltrane played the most honest horn. Louis Armstrong started it all with "Stardust"!!!

If I can put anything here that lightens your load in life I've really accomplished something. 'Cuz life can be heavy.
