The British Invasion has had a big influence on my music. I started playing Beatle songs at age 12 with a neighborhood group we formed called "The Junior Beatles." I was "Ringo" and played on a REAL drumset...our "John, Paul & George" played on cardboard guitars we had cut out and colored with crayons to look like "Beatle" guitars. We pantomomed to Beatle records...AND got paid for it! Later, I worked with the original Beatlemania on Broadway and toured with several national Beatle Tribute shows...playing the part of John, Paul, George or Ringo. I even have a One-Man Beatles Tribute Show called "George Martin Presents: The Beatles" where I portray each of the Fab 4 on stage singing & playing their particular instrument. Hence the British Invasion influence...
I majored in music in college and now I teach & play several different instruments: piano, guitar, bass, drums, and flute. This came in quite handy when I was recording this CD. Most of what you hear on the CD is me ... with a little help from my friends playing some beautiful parts.
I hope you will enjoy the music.
Peace & Love,
George
