About Me

I am what would be considered a part time musician. I've played off and on here in the Cleveland area for over 35 years. In that time I've been in bands or jammed with some of the best musicians around. If circumstances were to change and I found that I could play full time I would do it in a heartbeat.Myspace Layouts
