"The song is inspiring much jammingness in my loins, and my funk bone doth quiver mightily."

This is my new mantra. I got this review from my recording of Brownstone, and it's my mission in life now. Inspiring jammingness and making funkbones quiver is indeed a righteous mission..

In my spare time, I'm a Jazz musician and composer. I have a fairly extensive catalog of material, and much of it is available for you to hear. I have a few samples on this site. On another site I was on, MP3.com, which had over 125,000 artists and over 1,500,000 songs until its sale to CNet, my song One For Mom climbed to #99 on the site. The song Legacy #5 had climbed as high as #106 on the entire site as well. My song Brownstone had been as high as #127. I had over 207,000 plays on MP3.com and I've sold CDs across the United States and in several other countries in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

I've been in several bands over the years, including playing bass for smooth jazz band Sgt. Friday in Syracuse NY, drums for vocal jazz ensemble Pacific Coast Highway here in St. Petersburg FL, and I've also played bass with Halloween Rock band Rocky Ruckman & The Beat Heathens here in St. Pete, and I currently play bass with the Gulf Coast Jazz Quartet.

Below are a few songs from my four CD releases:
