THE PAST
MUSIC: During my high school and college years, I sang with several groups and participated in “coffee house jams” and other musical gatherings, including acoustic acts. During the 1980s, I sang lead and harmony in several bands; top 40 dance/funk, jazz-standards, classic/oldies and modern rock ensembles. I also participated on recording projects for several local musicians. During the 1990s, while working in my career field as a radio newscaster, I sang with a local rock/jazz band, sang on recording sessions for other musicians, and would often “sit in” with various groups during their shows (including jam and piano-bar sessions.) I was also involved in many acoustic projects. Simple is good! In the early and mid 2000s, I sang lead and back-up with a couple of top 40 and oldies-bands, while producing some recordings.
