Welcome, this page tells you something about yours truly as a musician. It is also tells of world musicians I have encountered whom I believe have something interesting to say.
I have spent much of my musical life as a working musician in support of other's projects, especially the last twenty years, and for now have only a small thread of my own music to offer. Some of the musicians who have joined me here have large, even huge projects to present, some are long time friends, others are recent discoveries, either way there is great talent.
After a thirty five plus year career playing music for a living (you play because you must even if the living is humble), never having had a day gig; paying a whole mess of dues: club gigs, stage gigs, symphony gigs, opera gigs, orchestra pit gigs (way too many Broadway type shows), studio gigs, road gigs, sometimes (but not for so long) too few gigs; standing in the shadows holding up someone else's star, the so described celebrities, the definite want-to-be-s, the likely never-to-be-s, I am finally getting back to where I started (and would have stayed all along if they hadn't found out I could read their music and be beguiled by their paychecks, such as it all was), back to playing the music in my own heart and mind. I am free at last!
