This is my performance at the memorial service for my mother. It was her  favorite song that I performed. The Service was held at the beautiful Kirk InThe Hills in Bloomfield Hills, MI. Glenn Miller, organist and choirmaster accompanied on the organ. The recording was pulled from a cassette run from a board mix with a single mic at the back of the house...great church, horrible audio. It is still a good sound and the performance is particularly moving for myself.

This was the actual perfomance at the funeral service for "Uncle Peaches." First heard the song three days before at the suggestion of Gary his brother-in-law. Never really played ANY country before. Learned it and did my best for Peaches. Beautiful song. I call it "Hillbilly Gospel" (and I can because my kin folk come from Kentucky and Ohio,) its got those sweet Appalachian harmoniesin the original. Wish I had the backing vox and the violin solo to really sell it, but I think I did it justice for a rock guy ;0)

I have performed professionally since 1990. I have graced many stages for many reasons. I have performed Opera/Classical, Vocal Jazz, Horn Funk/Pop, Rock, Heavy Metal and Acoustic Solo and Duo.  I was a paid soloist for 5 years at Kirk In The Hills Church in Bloomfield Hills.  I also studied Music at Western and Michigan State University. I have performed, written and produced my own music as well as the music of others.

I have performed at such venues as Wharton Center for Performing Arts in Kalamazoo, De Voss Hall and The Intersection in Grand Rapids, Bo’s Brewery and Clutch Cargo’s in Pontiac, The Hayloft in Mt. Clemens, The New Way Bar in Ferndale, The Old Woodbridge Tavern in the warehouse district in Detroit, Rick’s American Café in East Lansing, Kalamazoo and Ann Arbor.

My styles and influences range from the less accessible art music to the more popular modern rock and pop. Songs in my current repertoire range from 1950’s (Elvis, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson), to the British Invasion/ Classic Rock from the 60’s and 70’s (Beatles, Stones, Cream, Zeppelin), to the New Wave Pop and Big Hair Rock styling of the 80’s ( John Cougar, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, The Cure and The Church) and finally the Grunge of the 90’s (STP,  Pearl Jam, Radiohead and Black Crowes) the Modern Pop and Rock of the 2000’s (Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Seether, Nickelback.)
