I have been living in Orange County New York (http://www.orangetourism.org/) in the gorgeous middle Hudson River Valley for the past 20 years. The music scene here is quite robust with influences from above from Woodstock and the Catskills to influences from below from NYC and surrounding areas. It is a huge live music scene.

My day job takes me to lower Manhattan located across from the former World Trade Center site. This area is now becoming exciting and vibrant with many rebuilding projects. The art and cultural impacts are astounding.

Along with my day job for a Wall Street company, I play drums with a Club/Wedding band and keyboards for an oldies band.

We just found time to move into a new house in a sleepy littel town called Salisbury Mills, New York.

Anyone visiting this area, be sure to look me up!!!
