I bring enthusiasm and positivity to everything I do or else I don't do it! The sample you hear is all me on my digital 8-track, doing one of my favorites: "Shake a Hand" originally performed by Faye Adams in 1953 it is a Joe Morris tune. Roots of Rock are in Soul, and that's how I sing and play my horns!!! I can do standards, earth-shaking soul, sweeping ballads and acapella. I have sang for weddings and I have played my sax and taken a verse all acapella at open mic! Talk to me: [email] or visit my site above or call [Phone #]
Thanks for stopping by!
