ABOUT

Hi. I have recently retired and getting back into classic rock, rock, country rock, blues, jazz. I am looking to have some fun, make a few new friends, do a few gigs and/or some recording.

I played semi-pro in a classic rock band for about 15 years and a number of jazz ensembles. Additionally, I have played classical/showtoon music with the Saskatoon Concert band for 35+ years. I have done a bit of recording and a tiny bit of songwriting.
