Those that can do, those that can't, sell...
From an early age I was an aspiring musician. I had dreams and visions of one day performing on all of the television late night talk shows. I took private lessons, enrolled in music classes in school, played in the school band and orchestra, and barely made the grade. I realized wanting to be a musician and being a musician were not one in the same. I majored in business in college then combined my love of music with my passion. I now sell musical instruments and still secretly have dreams (fantasies, really) of performing before huge crowds. Reality can be harsh unless you embrace it.

My Jazz Story
The best show I ever attended was...Charlie Harrington and the Jazz Express. The showmanship reminiscent of old time vaudeville combined with the musicianship channeling Johhny's NBC Orchestra made for a unforgettable experience.
I also caught Spyro Gyra live. What an amazing group of musicians that gelled and created music that was out of this world.
