A recent 100th birthday party in San Mateo
I play familiar BACKGROUND music for events, lunches, gas station openings, or any other place people are gathered. I play Americana and a lot of old standards.

I specialize in background music for parties, garden parties, restaurants, and other venues where people want something mellow yet festive but not intrusive. I play several times a week in Fremont, oakland, and San José.
I have been playing the button accordion, a German instrument, for 26 years. I have a repertoire of about 160 songs. I also write dinner music and I have played jazz clarinet and Bluegrass violin. Music is my life!
I play sitting and I need no amplification. I come with my chair or I can use yours along with my small German button accordion.
Typical songs I play are:
Una Paloma Blanca
Don't Think Twice It's all right
Popeye the sailor
The milk cow blues
Camptown races
Sukiyaki
Andy Griffith theme song
Puff the Magic dragon
Little Brown jug
St Thomas by Sonny Rollins
My influences include Stephen Foster from the late 1800s, Bob Dylan, traditional folk songs, and familiar tunes.
No equipment required as long as I have a place to sit
