“I started playing the bass guitar in 1967. . . over the years I have also played guitar, violin, viola, upright bass, u-bass, ukulele, mandolin and mandola. Bass guitar is the instrument that is most natural for me to play. I “discovered” the fretless bass guitar in 1973. I heard the true potential of the instrument on the Hejira album by Joni Mitchell in the playing of Jaco Pastorius. When I heard his solo album in 1976, I was blown away….the best bass playing ever!!!! I played in many varied bands and orchestras including Blue Island (with Tony Gioiosa, Rich Rita & Dan Galayda), The Kent Brothers Band, Northwest Indiana Symphony, San Diego Mandolin Orchestra, Innisfree (with Dennis Cahill), Jack Straw (with Tom Gunty), Stewart Ridge (with Rich Rita, Dan Galayda & Tom Gniewek), and Jubal (with Kevin Waltham, Joe Benson, Mark & Bruce Deane). Attended music school at DePaul University in Chicago 1971-75. Attended bass guitar weekend with Jack Casady at Fur Peace Ranch in 2006. Played in Bass Clef Experiment (with Mike Alvarez/cello). In recent years I have been exploring solo bass playing (covers & originals).”
