I've played drums for over 50 yrs being college-educated at East Carolina Univ. Spent 5 yrs on the road. Been singing for about 40 yrs, and started my own project studio in '88. I love to arrange especially, but I compose as well with deep, and varied influences ranging from Count Basie to Joni Mitchell, from AWB & Rufus to Poco & Eagles, and Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, to Carole King & Jimmy Webb. I think you get my drift. I DESPISE rap and heavy metal, and most alternative.
