Hey Thanks For Clicking on my Web Page.

I Live in central New York (Syracuse) and My favorite Pastime is playing Bass Guitar. I have Played with many Central New York Bands when called. I have appeared with Phil Petroff and the Natural Fact, Jane Zell, Mark Hoffman, Bobby Green, and Dr. Killdean, The Delta Cat's, Paul Fey and Mike Sidello, Roosevelt Deans Band, And The Moss Back Mule Band. I have been playing bass for more than 40 years now and my musical taste ranges from Blues to Jazz to Rock with some Country mixed in. I mainly play Blues and Jazz these days. My Current project is an Acoustic jazz band that does swing style standards.
