About
Mercenary fiddle player. I'm really good at it. I've worked in pretty much any situation a violinist/fiddle player could possibly be involved in. I've done thousands of shows and hundreds of recording sessions, TV shows, radio. I was a cruise ship headline act for many years. I've played in every state in the US, Europe, Canada, Central America, South America, Japan & China.
I'm old, but I'm in good shape. I work out 2 or 3 times a week at Planet Fitness. I ride my bicycle at least a hundred miles a week if the weather is good. Sometimes when it's bad. I'm good on stage & know enough to not upstage the star. I play in tune & show up on time.
Ten years ago, I was turning down as much work as I took. I couldn't be everywhere at once. I'd like to have that problem again. Call me: 407-257-3249
