Hello Music Lover!

Grammy award winning arranger Bob Freedman was my professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston. He shared with me that he had one regret regarding his career. During the lean times, instead of being paralyzed with worry while waiting for the phone to ring, he wished he had used the slow time to create his greatest musical work. Hindsight proved that eventually the phone always rang again, and everything turned out alright.

Legendary Los Angeles keyboardist Billy Mitchell once offered me his own brand of encouragement. He said that sometimes horns are IN, sometimes horns are OUT; business is booming or times are tough. Whatever is happening, just keep playing 'cause it always comes back around.

So, that's what you will see me do -- just keep on playing for YOU!
