For many years now I've been developing & enhancing my creativity through my piano, guitar, and my pen.  My vocal style is basically "whiskey voice" as a result of a misspent youth, although I've been a "friend of Bill" for decades now. 

On this page is a free MP3 download of "The Building Speaks", one of many original tunes I've written recently.  I continue to perform as a musician/entertainer, solo or with a variety of other musicians & vocalists.  I cover jazz, r&b, classic rock, country & other genres from every decade since the 1920s - at this point my song list contains thousands of songs & medleys.

I love to perform songs associated with the Rat Pack period of the 1960's - those songs originally sung by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., among others.  If you're not familiar with that era, some of my favorites are "Fly Me To The Moon", "New York, New York" & "It Was a Very Good Year".  I also love to cover "piano heroes" songs (Billy Joel, Elton John & the "avatar" himself, Ray Charles).  As a child of the 60s, my repertoire includes dozens of songs by the Beatles, Stones, classic Memphis soul, Motown, Beach Boys & Jimi Hendrix (to name a few). 

Take a "look & listen" to the array of performance options available for booking.

Original Work

I have written and recorded many songs in the past few years that have a Spiritual theme.  These songs are meant to bring emotion and uplift.  Having been the music director for Unity for over sixteen years helped develop the themes.

Other recordings are for addiction recovery.  Please enjoy these original tunes!
