I currently play Hammond organ, piano, and sometimes left-handed bass live in several Los Angeles area bands. They include, in no particular order; Magic's Ten Inch Brain, I get to play left-handed bass in this band. More about this 3-piece original and classic rock outfit at magicsteninchbrain.com.; The Samurai Homeboys, 7-piece funk and soul express. More at samuraihomeboys.com; The New Breed Orchestra, 12-piece original funk extravanganza. More at newbreedorchestra.com; I've also recently done shows with the Jon Nichols Band, & Thrive. In 1998, I had the pleasure of performing with the Chris Stills Band on the H.O.R.D.E. tour. I also contribute to a music library that gets my instrumental music placed in many major network and cable TV shows. During the 90's, I played with several smokin' blues bands, including Blues Underground, and The Redhot Blues. I recorded a couple of cds with each band. Blues Underground was signed to Del-Fi Records by Bob Keane after selling a substantial amount of cds locally. We appeared in opening and headlining positions at the House of Blues in Hollywood over 20 times, including opening for John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, & Junior Walker and the All Stars. I also played with The Lost Highway, Runaway Train, Groove Therapy, Jettison Eddy, and the gospel group The Sweet Singing Cavaliers. Before moving to LA in 1990, I toured the U. S. with Quarter Moon, Spike, Normandie, & Kody Lee.
