About

Dixieland, anyone? I went to Mardi Gras 2010 and would love to play concert or walking NOLA music.
Used to be in a Cajun & Zydeco band in Ann Arbor where I played euphonium, sousaphone, and fiddle, and did lead and back-up vocals...also ended up marketing & booking our gigs (I tend to return phone calls and get back to clients). I miss it.
I also call contra (square) dances, sometimes do DJ work at events.

Influences

George Cavender (U-M director of bands when I was in marching band there). I show up early, set up quickly, go the extra mile to make the party happen. Polite, sociable, cheerful, friendly.

Equipment List

Euphonium, sousaphone, wide assortment of Mardi Gras costumes and accessories. Fiddle. Harmonicas. Complete PA system suitable for a 5-piece string band and dance caller.
