Contemporary Pianist:
   As you can see I have built up an extensive Repertoire over the 35 years I have played the Piano (played mostly from memory!) My desire at all times is to fill wherever I am playing with “Beautiful Sound”. For me “Melody Is King”. And to do everything I can to enhance the enjoyment of those of us sharing this evening of our lives together. Hence my great desire to play your favourite songs if at all possible!  I express my philosophy of piano playing in this way …..

“Every Song Has A Soul…. And In Order To Make The Song SING …You Have To Enter Into The Soul Of The Song”
