Overview

I enjoy entertaining audiences with the piano. My repertoire includes ragtime standards, spirituals, showtunes, Holiday favorites, and easy-listening music. I learn new songs quickly, and also love to improvise. I have played for weddings, funerals, dinner parties, and local nonprofit agencies. Thirty-plus years of experience.
