About Me:
I am a Pittsburgh native jazz appreciator born in music pass down from my Dad who learned piano by sound, until later in his years he moved to New England resided in Providence and Pawtucket Rhode Island. He formed a band named EMANON. He passed on at the age of 75. I am a graduate Schenely High School, Community College of Allegheny County and of Point Park University majoring in criminal justice. I have a passion to protect and serve people until this day and enjoy people everywhere I travel. I enjoy the entertainment of Jazz players and music of their talents in various forms. As a child raised in Pittsburgh, the music of choice in our home was always jazz and comedy listening to Moms Mabley records. I took piano lessons as a child but no where to practice to develop a talent of habit. Today I still play the keys and read music. Jesus Christ is my focus and only love.

    Andrea,

    I remember Julius Davis and his beautiful smile so well. We played together with Sonny and the Premiers band in the 60s. He was one of my favorite people and I am so sorry to learn that he has passed from this side of the veil. Wonderful sax man and also a marvelous chef. Above all a good friend and splendid person.

    Andrea,

    Thank you for the feedback. We send out the e-blasts for the benefit of the active members who take the time to post their events on the network. We are beginning to fill up the clubs with members.

    Are you aware of the Afro-American Music Institute in Homewood? they are members of the network and you should go there with your grandson for lessons. they teach gospel, jazz and classical music on all instruments and vocally. They have a marvelous Boy's Choir and their faculty are among the best in the country.
