About Me:
I love playing, listening, and performing jazz. I've been fortunate to have been brought up on jazz and where better to get an education than in a city as rich in jazz culture as Pittsburgh? I hope I can one day make a living playing the music I love and I know I'll be happy.

    Benny Benack III - I enjoyed your contribution to the Monroeville Jazz Festival. You and your group are very talented and I do hope to see more of you in the future. Have you recorded?

    Tony and Kay Janflone Jr. have sold their house and are planning to move to Florida.
    On June 27th at Carson City Saloon from 2pm till whenever, we are going to visit with and give them our best wishes.
    Carson City is usually closed on Sundays, but they are going to open so we can have this party. No gifts since they are moving.
    Come out and see Tony and Kay before they leave.
