I have been playing guitar and singing since my teen years. I appear regularly at area open mics such as Old Songs, Professor Java's, Tierra Coffee Roasters, and Hudson River Coffee House. I perform regularly for area senior citizens centers. I have donated my talents to such causes as veterans affairs and disabled citizens. For 15 years, I was tenor captain and regular guitarist with the Ne'imah Jewish Community Chorus, for whom I served as president. I have studied with world-class musicians at the National Guitar Summer Workshop in New Milford, Conn. I have been a member of the former Capital District Guitar Performance Group. I would be honored to entertain at life cycle events such as anniversary parties, weddings, and B'nai Mitzvot.
