About Me:

Pianist, organist, singer, songwriter--worked with many big names incl. Tracy Nelson, Bobby Bare, Dickey Betts, Willie, Cash, Emmylou, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Spencer Davis Group--Nashville in the 80s, Europe in the 90s, recorded solo CD "Memphis Heat" on prestigious German INAK/In-akustik label 1997, still available on www.amazon.de (German Amazon), moved back to USA 1999 and have played mostly solo around Atlanta since, way too many restaurants and piano bars, good for my chops but keeps me isolated.

What role do you play in Atlanta's music community?

Worked in bands of Donna Hopkins, Liz Melendez, Ken Rhyne, played some with Tinsley Ellis in Donna's Band--occasionally with my friends The Bretheren (classic soul)--featured on WRFG from time to time, organized successful benefit for Bobby Donaldson at Fuzzy's w/Francine Reed in 2006--do some jazz brunches with a trio at Copeland's New Orleans Restaurant--need to play more visible gigs like I used to but must make steady money, thus the restaurant/piano bar thing. Want to get out and play around more again
