The love for music goes way back to my start in Connecticut. I've played and lived in New York and St. Croix, VI, which I first visited while on tour with Norman Connors and the Starship Orchestra.
Since coming to New Mexico, I've had the pleasure and honor to play with local musicians Frank Leto on steel pan; guitarist, Ramon Bermudez; Jr., songstress, Busy McCarroll; The Groove Tribe, featuring the Soulful Hillary Smith; Ibanez guitarist Larry Mitchell and poet & saxaphonist, Joy Harjo.
My daytime hours are spent teaching private bass lessons and also studying with Jazz Educator, Charlie Banacos.
SHOW THE MEDIA THE OF THE PEOPLE STAND WITH US AND SAVE PUBLIC ACCESS 12/08/09 @ Noon PRESS CONFERENCE to save Community Access TV We
invite you to attend a press conference, Tuesday, December 8th at 12pm,
to be held in front of the studios of channels 26 & 27 (415 Tijeras
NW, SE entrance of the Old Bernalillo County Courthouse, facing the
Civic Plaza). Albuquerque, NM--On Nov. 17th former Mayor Marty
Chavez cancelled Quote-Unquote Inc.'s valid 4 year contract to run
public access TV Channel 27 and Encantada TV Channel 26. This action
appears to be solely political and perhaps a mean to reward his
campaign supporters. If we don't defeat this maneuver it is
CERTAIN the channels will go dark on Janua

"Before success comes in any man's life, he is sure to be met with much temporary defeat, perhaps some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach."
- Napoleon Hill
"Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor."
- Truman Capote
