Vic Glazer

Born: January 28, 1947

I'm currently 65 and live and play So. Florida. I make my living as an accompanist for singers and variety acts who tour or do one-nighters in the area. I'm employed by local theatrical agents who use me and several other qualified pianists. The work is seasonal and we usually have to scuffle during the summer here. Most musicians always will have to pay "dues" at one time or another! After leaving North Texas State Univ. in 1965, I moved to L.A. where, after a short time, I started getting better and more influential gigs--both as a player and as an arranger. I took a gig conducting and arranging for Frankie Avalon in the early 70's and was lucky enouth to be noticed in that part of the business
