ABOUT
I started playing drums at the age of 5, my parents were Pastors of a liberal Pentecostal church, I grew up in the church started playing the piano and organ at 6yrs old. Took lessons for 15yrs including classical, opera and jazz. Had a great vocal opera teacher who helped me tremendously with my singing in not changing my style or gift but polishing it. I played for our 150 voice youth choir, was introduce to so many gospel artist who ministered in our church. God has blessed me with these gifts and all I've done is my part in polishing and perfecting them. The Psalmist in Ps 33:3 says to play skillfully unto the Lord and that has been my goal all my life in everything I do. I was in ministry for 35 yrs am semi retired or so I thought...I like some of the newer Christian music out there but love the older music just seems to have a deeper foundation then what is being put out these days. Would love to jam with likeminded musicians have a nice property where to Jam plenty of room in the Barn...God Bless!
