Aural Sensations

About Me

im from Strong Island NY. I LOVE MUSIC AND MUSIC LOVES ME BACK!. Somehow there was always instruments in our basement or garage growing up. So i played a little piano, and alot of the drums , dabbled on the guitar and even a little trumpet. There are always notes and melodies in my head swirling around and the trick is to get the music out of your head the way you hear it and to find other humans to musically socialize with that actually can play it that way..that's the challenge. Ive been very fortunate to play with some great musicians and also some good people also which is just as important. The most famous i would have to say would be my friend Bakithi Kumalo...who of course plays bass and various instruments wit Paul Simon and "The World" . Very talented and a good person. Hopefully some of that rubs off on me!. He also has a great partner Robbie k..who can just flat out "Sang"..if u knonw what i mean..i also met and have played with many kool people along the way like my friends: kevin patrick..(Blondie and others ), My Bro Kenny who plays with Toby Lightman and Matt Marshack, i also played with Matt ..exellent jazz guitarist...all over CD 101..9...
