About Me

I have been involved in the music industry in one way or another since around 1978. I'm still hacking away on the bass guitar (sometimes other stuff, too) and am currently recording and producing a CD with singer/songwriter Lori Citro. Lot's of fun, plus we have some GREAT guest artists playing on some of the tracks. For a little preview, check out the tune "So Sorry", featuring guest performances by Nathan Hall and Dave Hopkins, up in my player.

In addition to playing, I also did a ton of live sound mixing for numerous local, regional and a few national acts including The Byrds (sort of...), Arthur's Museum (featuring Richie Kotzen), Bobby Lenti and Blue Eyes, Tom Larsen's Killer Blues, and a few quick soundco fill-ins and one-nighters for people like Hot Tuna (Jack was great!), Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush (wow), Kansas (beyond wow), and damn near every "new wave" band that existed back in the 80's (thank you City Gardens!). So many great people and gigs! I try and stick to playing and recording locally now (but I'd probably go back out on the road in a second). I occasionally help out at The TuneRoom in Wilmington, DE - www.tuneroomstudios.com with "The Beast", R.B. Hunter and also do some projects in my home studio...feel free to contact me - I'm always open to checking out a new gig! Hope you enjoy the music - Peace

The cover of Little Village's song "Fool Who Knows" is just a (very) quick demo I did completely on my laptop last summer while working a "day gig" selling boats (I like boats - especially when I don't have to pay for them). I am playing/programming everything, but I DO NOT take any credit for writing this wonderful song. I've been told it was Ry Cooder (thanks Chris). Actually I never really finished it, but what the hell...my wife likes it so...
