About Me


Well, it's time for me to update my Bio. Let's see where to begin...?It's been a great few years musicaly and personaly since my original bio.I've been fortunate to once again to be playing music. I have met some incredible people along the way and have learned much about my craft, as well as, myself.Music for me is a journey of self realization. Challenges are an everyday thing and sucess is short. You cannot "Lie in your laurels" as an artist or you will never further yourself or your art.These days I am spending a lot of time learning and re-learning. Going back to where you have been is always an enlightening experience. I always learn somthing new when I return to a piece or study that I have long forgotten.I'm at a point in my craft where "Somthing Wonderful is about to happen" again! I see it and I can feel it.This next year is already starting off as one of those times in my life which I will be fond of looking back on. I'm savoring every moment right now and looking forward to the future!I'm not sure as to what exactly is going to happen this year but I can assure you that I'm going to have fun doing it!Come back from time to time to listen to my journey. I'll post the stories (songs) of my travels as soon as they happen.All the best!Peace,Gerry

Miles...

I was listening to Kind of Blue this weekend. I've always loved this album. In my mind I feel that it is the number 1 jazz album of all times. I've been listening to so much "new" (at least new to me...

Europe

I would just love to pick up and move to Europe. The people there are just great. Overall, the people in Europe are more "aware" and knowledgeable about many subjects and are skeptical about subjects ...
