I moved to Pittsburgh in 1974 from New York and decided to stay. I've played bass since I was 16. Mostly blues, funk, some R&B and rock.

About Me:
I'm the bass player for Bobby Hawkins & The Blues Train as well as The RumpShakers project. I also sit in with different bands and musicians for gigs and open stages including Dave Yoho's YinZide Out shows.
I have played bass as an amatur and professionally for 30 some odd years in New York and Pennsylvania. A wonderful guitarist now living in Ireland, Rick Harris, is responsible for getting me into playing the bass. So it is his fault.
I play blues, funk and R&B, also, recently rediscovered my love of 60s & 70s blues rock power trios, Cream, Johnny Winters, Mountain, Rory Gallagher, James Gang, Grand Funk, Robin Trower, probably more that I forgot...) The Golden Age of Blues Rock if you will.

Your page is all that and then some ... and so is your playing.
Looking forward to it!
