I'm not your average sax player.
So don't expect me to be. My style is unique and intriguing. Taking someone else's tune and making it your own. That's talent. Playing it, so that the original artist is pleased. That's greatness. I'm not there yet. But I'm working on it.

Influences
As a kid, it was my older sister who influenced me the most. She was the first hometown
"Flower Child." Her musical influences became mine. Motown, was at the top of the chart back than. But it was closely followed by, Janis, Jimmy, CCR, Mama's and the Papa's and several others. Couple these influences with my life experiences . And you come up with a man who really knows the Blues. Yep, somewhere in there it all got into the mix. (Pretty sure it's the black gospel I'm also so fond of) At any rate, I'm ready to play. Got all my loose ends put together, so now there is nothing in the way of pursuing a retirement career.
