I'm in Lexington, Kentucky. Moved here in while in High School. Went to Berkley, then back to the University of Kentucky. Play upcale restaurants (35%) and private/corporate events for the State government, horse farm owners, Toyota, IBM, etc. Have had 9 weeks of vacation from playing in 50 years. Work as a single, as a trio and, occasionally, with larger groups consisting of players from the local Jazz Arts Foundation.

Days, I run my communications company...Annual Reports, packaging, literature, film (industrial)etc. Lot's of sound score work for film projects.

There is only one other person using an arranger in this area (approx 300,000 people).This guy uses a laptop and works mainly Motown shows with a singer and percussionist...good player, nice guy and friend.


That's about it...
