Sure, you could say I’m a hippie, but that doesn't mean I don’t have expectations. Read More

I've been a serious musician since taking up (baritone) saxophone at age 13, over 40 years ago.

I play around the Austin area in a variety of settings from big bands to musicals to rock/blues groups to studio recording to classical ensembles; pretty much whatever is asked for.
