Sorry about the trash truck noise outside!

Many know my story, but I'll post it here.

I grew up playing classical guitar. Then drums. Then as a teenager I really got into classical piano. But my piano teacher got weird, so I dropped piano. Dumb move now. I'd be working a lot more if is a good piano player!

Here's a clip for a recent gig here with some old friends. I hadn't played with Charlie and Les for at least 10 years. We had a fun night listening and interacting with each other. Some guys go out for a night of bowling. I look at this as "our night of bowling". We all went out (joined by my wife Pam) for a drink and conversation at the Exeter Inn in Exeter, NH. An overall great night. I'm thinking that we are pretty lucky to be able to do this stuff. Play good music, hang with friends and get paid for it.

Guys, I'll be in Antwerp, Belgium on Friday, October 19th for a vibe clinic from 11:30-1 and an improv/ensemble clinic from 2-4. It would be great if anyone is in the area to come by and hang for a bit. Location:

Today is Emilie's b-day... ('our' Emilie) and I found out too that Vid Jamnik ('our' Vid) has now his own quartet!! I told him he was not nice to hide us those kind of things... so here is a great recording of their own "Emily" version from this summer. Enjoy!! :o)

I will be performing this piece on November 11th at the University of Delaware. What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Check out italian vibes player, Andrea Dulbecco. Wonderful player.
