Feeling The Joy

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”

Rumi



Whether in the studio, rehearsal or live performance, I bring focus and utmost attention to detail while working to ensure the overall success of each project. To play in a solo or ensemble setting, you must be constantly in the moment to bring about a fresh, engaging, and ever evolving performance...

And that's my Joy


Who I am and What I do

Starting a professional career at age 15 has taken me many places in many varied situations.

For over 50 years and thousands of performances I have established an outstanding track record.


I have worked extensively as a soloist, group performer, music director, teacher (piano~voice~theory~composition),

conductor and arranger as well as being an

international recording artist.


Highlights include performances as conductor and pianist for the one-and-only Mickey Rooney, pianist for a series of teaching clinics with the most recorded guitarist in the world, Tommy Tedesco, and Jazz pianist for the third largest arts center in the country,

The Woodruff Arts Center.

Projects


Bonobo TV Publishing is a collaboration of multi-faceted

artists promoting Respect for our Planet

and All Those We Share It With.

A recent project earlier in 2023 was the completion of recording for

Frank Hamilton/The Film

as well as his newly released album, “Peace Walks Softly”.

Frank is an American Folk legend who if you are unfamiliar with,

was right along side Pete Seeger, Woodie Guthrie, and others during the height of the Folk era. He is also the last living copyright author of the the civil rights anthem, “We Shall Overcome”.

It was an honor being asked to be part of this project with someone of such influence on the American musical culture.
