Well.... growing up, there was always a piano around. So I've just been playin forever, except not in Bands till the last 10 years or so. Never had a lesson, barely read music, (very slowly), but we can communicate just fine calling out chords, writing patterns, - just 'feel it' playin by ear. I got to grow up thru the 60's and music was/is all just a part of reality, and a fundamental element in my life. ,,,,a few very close friends are really exceptional players, and I learned a lot from them, They all think I know more than I do, or just expect me to be able to be able to play more than I think I can,, so I grow into That,,, They have no idea how special & important they all are to me...- - this is a page for the 3 Bands I'm in right now.. I started with Swami Lushbeard a few years ago. Don brought me up to playin live, and I learned a lot about what it takes to do this as something more than a hobby. , then I met the guys in Tarbender,, which seem to rotate around, now I am an Original, with Bruce, who heads it up. and again, my playing took another giant leap. I told them , I couldn't solo, or do lead stuff, or anything, kinda tried to talk my way out of it, but Bruce and the boys stuck with it, and as a result I play more than I think I know how to, it's what I've always wanted to do, what I've always heard inside my head musically, and can't thank them enough for bringin me along. After being pretty active and playing more, & better, the exposure just led to more opportunities, and, as a result of 'showing up' for the next playing opportunity, I met Paul Nagi, another genre, another style, another great experience to learn, and expand,,, So finally after a long and varied path, I get to play with Slavin David, a Venice Icon,, if ya seen him around you'll know what I mean. And once again my music is getting another big influence and expansion because of it. - Well Things Change, and I am no longer playing with Tarbender or Paul, BUT Now am in a 70's Cover band,, called MOUSTACHE. I got a Real Hammond M3, and it Rocks! what fun huh !?
When I'm not playing piano, I am on my other passion,, my Motorcycle. Been riding forever,, see some of those pictures at my other page, /dannykopel or click me - I'm my first friend.
Peace....
