Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been creating computer recorded music since 1980, since the early days of MIDI and sampling. I've been involved in playing music since the mid 60's, starting with piano and saxophone and adding most of the brass and woodwinds along the way.
I was an associate director and trumpet player with the Crystal Lake Community Band for about 20 years and have been playing with dixieland bands since I formed my first one in 1973. Currently, I play with the SinfulSaintsBand.com.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't play this music live...but I do play a whole lot of dixieland live!
Your musical influences
My current influences are Bernard Herrmann, Immediate Music, X-Ray Dog, Craig Armstrong, Hans Zimmer. I don't like mindless music... but I do like music to create moods and emotions.
