My wife Leslie, my parents, my brother and sister, Dave the Guitar Player (that's really his name!), as the journey through this life continues - so does the list.
I'm a simple guy that loves to play music. I've been playing bass and guitar for about thirtygmkjgdiuhg... a little while. I also enjoy recording. Watching the red light go on, the sound level meters rising and falling, taking a thought and turning it into a sound idea is thrilling to me.
I've just been having a ball being a working musician. I was a member of the Chicago Bears Band for two seasons (not quite the polar-type bears, but it is Chicago). Also played/playing in Voices (pop/covers), D-Erania (soul jazz), The Dustin Parker Band (oh the stories I've got! Then again...so does he), Posin'(my hair had never been so large), Planet Groove (funk/dance), quite a few others.
Now Playing!!! Sounds like a marquee. I'm having such a blast playing with what has become a three-headed, triple-tiered, tri-level...enough with the triads - my main gig - BUMP/Sing With The Band/LivePod. My boys, Dave (guitar/vocals) and Jay (drummist/vocals). I'm very fortunate to be working with the best. They make me look good! Now with LivePod we've got our girl Charma (pronounced KARMA). She'll knock you out! Check them all out down here in my friends section.
I'd like to talk to all musicians and those who aspire to be. Drop me a line. If you're in the Chicago area and want to record your work, or exchange ideas, let me know. I want to collaborate with all y'all! All the best!

Who I'd like to meet: Everyone that can possibly do me good!
