I started my journey in music when i was 5 years old. My parents bought me an accordion and put me into a music school. I took to it like a fish to water, having found what i could excel at. I would practice 30 hours a week for 10 years i played several gigs through my school and private parties. I changed my instrument at the age of 15 to the electric bass guitar, and have stuck with it for 30+ years. I've played with many a garage band and recorded a few albums over the years. played many gigs and have been on the road playing tunes to anyone who will listen, ( and some that try not to) Heavy Metal to Classic rock tunes , and anything else that gets my blood flowing. I love creating original songs and playing out live. Never was very big on playing tons of covers, had my fill of that when i was growing up with the accordion taking requests.
Music is my identity, my life's expression.
To travel the world playing on the road. From concert halls to pool halls and beer soaked bars. Seeing new faces every other night and giving them the experience they paid to see.
Id put major federal funding into school music programs. Children these days are being robbed by losing the opportunities we had . The joy of discovering our passions in learning music and all the benifits it provided later in life.
Pyotr Tchaikovsky's "Marche Slave" was the first classical piece of music i learned playing the accordion
Iron Maiden has always been my favorite band. Rush opened my eyes and ears. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, ZZTop , Deep Purple, Megadeth, Faith no more, Testament, Overkill.
