From Folk to Fusion and Rock to Bach: Great music should be shared!

About Me

I once told someone that if I could sing or write or play just one note...just one note that would make a positive difference in someones life, then that alone would far exceed any amount of monetary compensation, popularity or applause. Though I have sung and played trumpet on many stages, church platforms and even in remote parts of the Ukraine I may never know the difference it did or did not make. There are many of us born each year that have a song to write or play or sing and this myspace page is dedicated to the promotion of musicians and the exceptional gift that they bless the earth with everyday....even if it is only "one note". a

My Interests

Music and the art of life which is its breath.

I'd like to meet:

I'd really like to have to opportunity to see all of my friends on this myspace musicians page and to hear them play live.
