• Studied Piano at Indiana University, performed a number of musicals, played in various rock and jazz bands for up to 35 or more years. Currently studying latin piano and familiar with the clave. For the last two years, I have played with a Santana Tribute band. Played for Carnaval in San Francisco, the Meadowview Jazz Festival, and Festival de Familia at Cal Expo. I have a Korg CX-3 organ with a motion sound rotating speaker, a full size Triton Extreme, and a Yahama Motif. Generally, I use the Motif for horn and wind instrument sounds, the organ for Santana organ styles, and the Triton for piano.

• Professional bands that need a keyboard player to fill in. Or musicians with whom I could play standard and latin jazz. I have excellent sheet music sight reading ability, can play off of charts, and would eventually like to develop a band, with which I could play full time, and earn a reasonable living.
