Musings

Overview

50 years of professional musicianship from age 10. As a lead singer, I can reach into more than 45 songs instantly. As a keyboardist, I can play any style. As a director, I have directed a show which included 30 plus members. As a band member, I can provide not only the afore mentioned talents; but also arrange, write charts, and make good endings to songs that usually don't have them.

What to expect

In every band I've been in, I have been the most active on stage; being a little hyper (without coffee) enables me to move most of the time. Though I've done laid back gigs (for Apple) where I just sit at the piano and play quietly, it's not really a happy time for me. I've been known to be comical and sometimes brash but never vulgar. I know enough professional musicians to put together quickly a group from 1 to 7 pieces.

About

Starting at age 10: sang with Bing in a movie, sang at KFI radio weekly, at the Paldium, went into opera (briefly), joined the Air Force, went to college.
1980-now:went on the road for 14 years, became a music director/keyboardist for a church providing 9 shows over 9 years incorporating up to 30 cast members, worked in various local clubs which included country, rock, and jazz.

Additional booking notes

For individual gigs, all I need is an outlet. As the amount of performers increase, so will the need. I have worked with lighting before but not in this area.
