About Me:

I guess you would consider me a late in life Musical Bloomer. I picked up my first guitar at the age of 49! I am 52 now. I have been fortunate to meet and play with a lot of artists the last few years. A self taught at the bass guitar, I have played with the following bands in the Houston area:Â Round 7, Nine 1 Nine, The Paul Francis Band, The Ali Katz, The Classic Rock Band.Â I was one of the original organizers for Houston Musicians Group,Â an organization of almost 1000 musicians in the Houston Area.Â I’ve spent a good deal of time since I joined the music scene setting up open mics, finding gigs for bands, helping sell gear, and, of course, making new musician friends!Â I have been fortunate in being such a new comer to the industry and have had such a diverse exposure. I have been in the recording studio for 4 different Band’s!Â And I’ve written and co-written some songs. Currently, my biggest project is a band I started with 2 close friends, Pat Workman and Tom Corkery. We’re called Highway 59, and we cover most of the songs that I’ve picked this month! Check us out! I also have the largest bass players website on Myspace.Â Over 2500 bass players from every country in the world.
