The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

........................... I am a keyboard player (I prefer old school piano/Hammond B-3 player) around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I have been influenced by some of the best musicians in Blues, Country and Rock. “I think Texas is like the melting pot of all music. Blues, Rock, Country...., down here all the good musicians play it all, and I’ve worked with some of the best. I work with The Silvertones(www.thesilvertones.com), voted "Best Blues Band" in The Dallas Observer Music Awards 4 times !! And we were selected to go to Memphis for The 2009 International Blues Challenge by The North Texas Blues Society with Blues Legend and Harmonica Master, Joe Jonas (www.joejonas.com)!! We had a great time and made some good contacts and more dates with Joe and a CD are in the near future.................I've recently been recording a CD with Cadillac Creek at The Tune Lab and The Tracking Station called "Roots and Boots" written by Randee Lee. He plays guitar for Tommy Joe Wilson and writes songs for Greg Alan. I'm also working up a show with Nashville recording artist, Jeff Smithart. As you can see, I am working both sides of the tracks these days, and I love it!....................
I toured last summer with The Great Tutu Jones(www.tutujones.com)! We played some of the major blues festivals from Florida to Washington DC, with a concert at The Kennedy Center. There will be a studio album coming out sometime this year. .......................................................

Wilson, Zac Harmon, Marquise"Big Daddy"Knox, Don McRay, Texas Slim, Buddy Miles, Monty McClinton(Delbert's son), Maurio Marcus, and James Hinkle, to name a few. I've shared the stage with Rusty Burns(Ricky Lynn Greg, Point Blank), John O'Danials(Point Blank), Rocky Athas(Black Oak Arkansas, now with John Mayall), Smokin' Joe Kubek, Bugs Henderson, Holland K. Smith, Wanda King(Freddie King's daughter), Jim Suhler(Goerge Therogood), Chuck Rainey(Steely Dan,.....), Micheal Burks, Buddy Whitington(John Mayall), Lucky Peterson, and so many more who were looking for an old school piano and B-3 Sound.....................................................
