About Me
Revised and Revisable
I used to use this post for the About Me page, but so much has changed it’s not completely pertinent. Still, it’s a good read if you have the time and are interested in my whole story.
With backgrounds in both engineering and computer programming, I have turned my attention to music. My goal is to play as much as I can, develop as a player, write, record, and perform. I also enjoy helping other musicians achieve their goals in whatever ways I can.
My first love in music is piano and thanks to my big sister Kathy I now own a real grand piano. After that is organ (Hammond B3 style, if you must know. I still don’t have a real one of those), then the Wurlitzer and Rhodes electric pianos (I don’t have real ones of these either, yet). I’ll also play clavinet when the funk calls for it. Beyond that are other true keyboard instruments if I get to experiment with them. I don’t dig “faking” instruments such as horns or strings (I once contacted a Rolling Stones tribute band that was looking for a keyboard player. They were recreating one of the Stones’ albums, and they wanted the keyboard player to play the horn parts. I passed).
I enjoy lots of different kinds of music, and am open to playing many things. That said, blues, jazz, and rock are at my core.
This blog is about what I’m doing as a musician. It’s a bit of a journal, but I also hope that you find it helpful and that it gives you things to think about in what you’re doing.
