    Well It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally doing what you've been asking for and I've been saying I was going to do for a while now...start my own band. I'm really looking forward to it all and I know you're going to love it as much as I do. All original show TONITE @ 9:30 @ The High Note (19+). Come see what the new buzz is all about. Hope to see you soon!

    "Some major label should give him a contract, take the eight sides on 'Rules of the Game' as is. It is simply splendid, way better than most major-label products. Every track here is a little gem, but his performance on this deliciously melodic toe-tapper is especially swell. The production carries you along like a perfect wave." -Robert Oermann;
