Making music keeps me hangin around Planet Crazed - Sharing it keeps me sane - contemplative, chill, groove with a heart, east & west blend, genre bending, intelligent music
for slightly lost souls...
Ron Soderstrom provides the incredibly soulful trumpet solos on some of these tracks..
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Band history is my personal history - from France to Texas to D.C. to Seattle to L.A. to San Francisco and back to the Northwest U.S. - many gigs, many adventures, very little dinero and a few good friends
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Rarely play live - make me an offer. Special moment - playing at my loft in L.A. with a bottle of brandy in one hand and a mic n the other to a sold out crowd who had no idea where they were. Heaven.
