ABOUT

I've been playing since 1959; first in the Azores, then to Alaska in the '60's & 70's, with 3 yrs in Hawaii in the mid '70's (and a USO tour to Midway Island in Christmas '76), and here, all around Oregon since '81... I've played in big bands, jazz groups, blues,rock,country,show, tribute & pick-up bands of all kinds... I started singing harmony some years ago, also... I'm 'self-contained'... And I've only missed 1 gig all that time !!
