Ladies and Gentlemen

Thanks for visiting. I hope you like the snippets of my disc, "The Fundus Among Us". All the tune on the disc are original compositions. Kudos to those who can identify where I stole the changes for some of the tunes. I played all the instruments except for the drums. Most of the recording was done on a Stoneman fretless 5 and a Bass Collection Fretless 5. For some of the tunes, like "The Velvet Elvis" (The highlight of the disc; don't miss that one), I played the chords on a fretted Hohner B2A five string bass. All with a high c string. Guitar used is a mid 80's Carvin DC-200.

Just a little rant on who I am. My musical training started in grade school where I played clarinet and saxophone in about all the concert, jazz, and marching bands there was. In ninth grade I bought a Fender Musicmaster bass (Ahh..Lake Placid Blue!) because wind instruments just didn't cut it in a rock-n-roll band. Later, one of my teachers was Carmen Caramanica,. For you central New Yorkers, he is the jazz cat you need to be around. I took a little hiatus from music to attend optometry school, which is how I pay the bills. In the meantime I've played in a whole bunch of rock bands and jazz combos. For the last eleven years I've been playing with the Ageless Jazz Band (www.ageless-jazz.org) which is a 17 piece big band that has afforded me the opportunity to gig in Aruba nine times. Oh yes, soft gig, baby! So yeah, I can read. For the last year and a half I've been playing also with the Purple Valley (www.lightlink.com/purple/), a five piece blues/rockabilly outfit that's just a gas to play in. The leader, John Saylor, has more fun on stage than is humanly possible. I recommend that you search out people who LOVE to play music. It matters more than I can say.

Trust your gut and you will thrive.

Need a bass player? Look me up. Got some cool jam to share? Please do!

Peace and Love
