Let me start by telling you something about myself. I play the Saxes (Soprano, Alto, Tenor),Flutes (C and Alto) and, of course, Clarinet. Like other musician's web pages that I have visited, I also play the Yamaha WX-7 Midi Wind Controller. Based out of North Florida, mainly the Jacksonville area, I am on staff with one of the local recording studios that specializes in commercials for radio and television in which I do the writing and arranging and perform. Now, wait a minute!! You may think I play in the commercials just because I write them. NO! I play in them because I am a seasoned performer that also does recording for a lot of other studios in the area as well as in different regions of the US. I believe that one of my strongest points is my performance on woodwinds, although I do play keys on some sessions that I produce for Individual Acts that need my production ability.

Meanwhile off of my soapbox , I also have a local band called "KTG" that performs mainly what I call "Yuppie Top 40" although we are more than capable of doing "straight ahead" gigs and a wide variety of other styles. I perform with other regional bands and entertainers. I am accepting new engagements for all occasions. Hurry because 2001 is filling up fast.

I also am working closely with a consortium called "Planet Sounds". The content of the Planet Sounds newsletter "Listening Inn" does not always reflect my personal views, but I respect their views and the ability to express their views is a fundamental right. We are quite diversified in what we are about and are comprised of people currently residing in 4 states, which is good for our coverage but difficult for our personal meetings, so we have cyber-meetings and e-mail as well as other mediums for the most part. I'm proud to be a part of such brilliant company; I feel very blessed. In the near future, I will be sharing with you in more detail about the inner works of this consortium.
