Album Notes

Here's my 3rd record. I'm finally singing on this one. I'm writing these songs about God but I don't want it to sound at all like "CCM" stuff. I'm also still trying to figure out who my audience is cause I don't fit into the typical Christian artist mold. So far people have liked this music a lot regardless of their faith. One of the tunes is an instrumental and it's probably the beginning of a completely different "sacred saxophone" project. This thing is called a pre-release cause I thought I was on the brink of making a full length record of these originals however, it's likely that my next record will not be called After the Rain and this 'pre-release' product will have my legions of fans waiting breathlessly for a really long time for the follow up. Well see. It's likely that I will record some other concept record first. If I had my way I'd make 4 records a year.

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I started playing alto sax in 7th grade. Later in high school I started teaching myself some other instruments, most notably piano, harmonica, and flute. A musical diet rich in jazz, blues, and country provided a potent source of aural development. Further training in woodwinds and jazz at DeAnza College in Cupertino proved both challenging and rewarding. I eventually wound up in Nashville in the late 90's and was a member of Donna Summer's tour band for about 7 years. Look for me playing keys on her VH1 Live and More DVD. I was on Carman's Heart of Champion Tour. I've been traveling extensively with Benny Hinn ministries since 2001. I've worked with the proverbial 'host of others'. Hey I played at Carnegie Hall and I made the mistake of asking a doorman how to get there and he said he'd been waiting for 12 years for someone to set him up for that punchline. "Practice" he said.
