Profile Information:

Pittsburgh Connection
I grew up in Pittsburgh——in Penn Hills, and graduated from Penn Hills Senior High School in 1972. My first jazz composition ever performed by someone other than its composer was on the stage at Penn Hills Senior High in 1971 or 72 in a comic play called _The Bad Children_.
Favorite Pittsburgh musicians/performers
Betty Douglas.
Nathan Curtis and Naomi Curtis, and their five-member band, "Cruces." They made the front page of "Reddit" a few months ago (Summer 2015). $5 to download their 2015 album.

About Me:
I play piano: classics & jazz.
I play hammered dulcimer: folk music of the British Isles and Appalachia.
I compose choral music, and have had my anthems performed in the US, Canada, Europe, and Britain. This May (2014), three of my anthems are scheduled for performances in the Philippines and Malaysia. Some of my anthems are flavored in jazz.
