About Me

Hey there, what up? I have been playing guitar for quite some time now (over 30 years) as well as producing CD's, managing bands and collecting an assortment of musical instruments. I have had a "high profile" career and I have played in and recorded with some very famous and some not so famous folks over the course of my career. Of course, I still love playing "live" music and I enjoy attending events that help the world turn more smoothly. But, my focus and passion are for recording and producing. This MySpace presence is a pet project for pursing both of these endeavors. If you want to audition for me, just send me your recordings, or the URL that gets me to you and I will contact you to see if we have a strong fit. If you are looking for an entertaining "live" music ensemble to entertain for a special event, reach out to me and I will respond accordingly. Thanks for visiting my MySpace profile and I hope that you enjoy the music ;-

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 19/05/2008
Band Website: hummerz.net
Band Members: The configuration of Phabulous Hummerz ( I know, "bad band name" ;-) is 'fluid' for lack of a better term. Currently, the nucleus consists of Brian Tucker on Bass and yours truly on guitar with the Section Six horns of Dave Stone and Tom Poole or ore recently, Jef Lewis adn Vince Lars with guest appearances by Tom Politzer (Tower). Drummers are plugged in and out, and at times the singers are moved around to facilitate dates that work for this group of Northern California musicians. Kind of like musical chairs for "gigging" musicians. Singers include Terry J (featured on Hummerz demo recordings) Kitt Redmond of the New York ensemble, Caeser from Caeser's World and David "Doc" Robinson from Double Funk Crunch. Drummers can be anyone who is available including, Peter Booras of the White Album Ensemble and Bryant Mills from The Cheeseballs and Robert Bareilles of the Bob B Band. Nate Ginsberg (Herbie Hancock, Todd Rundgren) has been carrying the keyboard load as of late, so it's a good group. Just so you know, this is a fun project. Not trying to rule the world or cause for fame and fortune. Just playing "live" music, something we all love to do. My passion and real purpose in life is in producing and recording new artists.
Influences: Staxx Volt, Motown, East Bay Grease, Classic R&B, R&R, West Coast Blues and FUNK!
