I started my musical journey in the 4th grade on the saxophone. Throughout my grade school years, I played tenor, alto and bari sax in concert, marching and jazz bands. At around 16 years of age, I started on guitar. After high school I got offered a gig playing the lounge circuit up and down the east coast - playing mostly guitar with a few sax tunes thrown in. After a year of that gig, another friend offered me a job teaching guitar in his guitar school. Played in several local (upstate NY bands). Also worked in another friends 8 track studio (TEAC reel to reel), where I did a lot of experimenting and writing. Fast forward, moved to Charlotte, NC - put together a CD or 14 original instrumentals, which I wrote, played and produced. Played for the internationally known George Hatcher Band for 12 years - the band put out a half dozen albums, 3 on a major label. Work in an acoustic duo and teaching currently. I totally live for the melody in tunes.
