ABOUT

I've been playing 50+ years, have played multiple instruments including guitar, trumpet and baritone horn but play bass professionally, I have played rock, hard rock, blues, pop, some covers, originals. I have a good ear and learn fast and remember what i learn. I am one of those guys who doesn't want to put my bass down at the end of the night (usually) I don't get screwed up, take my playing very seriously and am reliable and look younger than my age. I also play upright bass.

Influences

Paul McCartney is the reason I started playing bass but have many many influences on bass way too numerous to mention but Jamerson obviously, also many 60's and 70's players are my foundation including Jack Bruce, Felix Pappalardi, Tim Bogert. I also like a lot of the studio cats, Carol Kaye, Jerry Scheff, Chuck Rainey etc.. I can play anything from hard rock to acoustic style Americana and enjoy it. I am not a metal player.
