ABOUT
I am a sort of laid-back type of a guy. I love God and I love to worship Him in music.I am mainly focused on Contemporary Gospel. I am a about a 27 year vet on the alto-sax but I play the soprano as well. I also play keyboard synth for about 17 years now and I do some youth gospel gigs on the "talkbox". I just love music and I always seem to fit in in most places playing God's music.

Influences
Man! So many people influnce me it is a long list. Vernand Johnson, Gerald Albright,Donald Lawrence, Kirk Franklin, B.B. King. Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Roger Troughtman, You-tube new-comer Byron Chambers, Kenny G and others. If you hear me play you will notice the style is versitile and notice the origin.
Members Of Band
Right now about 5 members at a local church that I play for. Me on the sax and keyboard and talkbox. The drummer, an awesome friend of mine on the Hammond B3 organ (the guy is a beast on the organ), a pianoist that also plays trumpet and music teacher.
EQUIPMENT
Well, I own a soprano and alto sax, a Yamaha MO6 keyboard, a KB5 Peavy amp, Studio condensor mics, unlimited track software, and old skool tascam sutdio mixer, a phantom powered tube amp. Also in a few week the Korg Micro-Korg Vocoder. Need a better patch capability. I'm working on alot of talkbox stuff now.
