About Me |
|
| Who would have known when my father bought a Farfisa organ in New York when I was 9 years old that I'd wind up playing keyboards in over 15 bands . I'm presently working with three bands in the state of florida . I work with a twelve piece horn band called Alter Ego . I'm also a long time member of Justin Sane a four piece rock band doing originals and covering tunes by Pink Floyd , Mike And The Mechanics , Deep Purple (Hush) , Seal , Don Henley, Tears For Fears and Zepplin . Cliff Williams the bassest for AC/DC has sat in with us twice . I also love playing Hammond organ with the 24Karet Band doing Stevie Ray Vaughn and Steppenwolf cover tunes . |
