Background:
I started playing the bass and six string guitars around age 9. After a few years of lessons, I went with tapes and publications, and I am mostly self-taught. I began playing with local rock bands doing clubs, weddings and concerts until my late teens. At age 20 I joined musicians referral service and hooked up with a touring band called the Box Tops in 1981, and proceeded to play on the road performing with groups of the same era like The Grass Roots, Chubby Checker, Drifters, etc. Although they were not all of the original members of the band who recorded the hits in the late 60’s like, (the letter, cry like a baby, neon rainbow, soul deep, etc.), they were all outstanding seasoned studio and performing musicians. After touring, I met my wife, and settled down into a somewhat normal family and work life but continued to play gigs every weekend. I have played with hundreds of artists in my lifetime, performing concerts, private / corporate shows along with occasional weddings, clubs, etc.
As far as studio work goes which I love to do, I have recorded five CD's with 60 West, Ralph Pagano (brother/artist), Alex Lopez, The Knobs, also with Lois Scott along with doing commercial and TV jingles in the Pittsburgh area. In Florida I have recorded a CD PLUS with Alex Lopez at Atomic Studios and with the 60 West Band currently recording a dozen plus songs to release in 2019. I look to record as much as possible with various artists. I have taught both bass and six string guitar in local music shops and in my home for 20 plus years. The most challenging type of music I find to play is jazz. I still continue to aspire to learn all this styles of music and become the most proficient player I can be. I am inspired by the musicians and artist I play with, my family, and the various styles of music I have yet to play. Read More
