ABOUT

I'm currently in the studio recording old standards dating back 50 to 100 years ago, primarily big-band versions by guys like Sinatra, Cole, Martin, Mathis, Darin, Jack Jones, Andy Williams, etc., and also old classic country & pop, guys like Hank Williams, Ray Price, Johnny Rivers, Jim Reeves, Elvis. Recorded about 100 songs so far. I've uploaded some here. Note: they are not mastered yet. The accompaniments are the best I can find/buy. Prior to the 2020 virus crud, I was busy entertaining older folks east of the Rockies in Wyoming and Colorado. My thoughts are with them. Back prior in Illinois, I fronted an 18 piece swing band before my moving to Wyoming for work. Unfortunately there are no local Swing/Big Bands, so I keep a lookout for anybody local who desires a lead singer. If ever there's an interest, please feel free to write. I can be reached through Bandmix. Thanks.
