My bio........Ok, I'm going to make
this quick and painless......at least quick. I started to play piano when
dirt was brand new. Myself and a buddy of mine from down the street,
Beethoven, began taking classical piano lessons when we were the ripe old
age of four from a cloistered nun named Sister Mary John. A really lovely
woman...I mean nun. Anyway, Sister Mary John really saw the potential in me
and took me under her wing for the next decade or so. Unfortunately for
Beethoven (I actually called him "B"....he used to call me "Elton"??????),
he really wasn't really able to cut the mustard so she had him pursue
another career path.
Following my classical training, I began my pursuit of popular music
theory. Me and my bro Cole Porter practiced for the next 10 years until I
decided to go on the road. I played with numerous bands and entertainers
and was actually lucky enough to play with some really great
musicians....no Really! I had the honor of playing on stage with Eric
Clapton at the Performing Arts Center in Saratoga, New York and was able to
sit in with the members of Chicago in Binghamton, New York and there were
many others along the way.
I took time out from playing on the road for long enough to raise a family.
Now that the daughters are old enough to support themselves (thank you
Jesus!!!) and my ex-wife is no longer sponging money off of me (damn that
Sister Mary John), I'm back at it again. I LOVE music and I hope our
audiences will do the same!
(p.s. I was only kidding about insinuating that Sister Mary John was my
wife!!! She actually WAS my first piano teacher and she was definitely the
biggest influence to me in my early music career. Thanks Sister Mary John.)
