Trivia: I have been playing music since I was a
little kid. I started the guitar around sixth grade and started the piano in
High School. I attended Cal State Fullerton as a music education major but
moved to the computer industry. Since about 1981, I have been working with
computers as my day job while I write songs at night. As you can see from my
list of musical influences, my taste in music is wide. For years, I played in
rock bands playing music like Rush and Saga. Now I find myself writing the
music that has always been in my hart. For those members of my old band Trauma,
I sometimes write the harder music but I’ve come back to my true love,
Jazz. What can I say I have come full circle. For those of you who know me from
way back, you know what I mean.
The CD, Lust Love and Other Distractions, is soft with many different modes and feelings. While writing, the song Astra a tropical rain forest came to mind. In fact, I almost named it that but after I completed the song, I wanted it to be the theme song for the project Astra. I hope you enjoy the CD and keep your eyes open for more music.
