Shameless Self Promotion

Shameless Promotion

I normally do not “push” my services in this monthly article. I tend to discuss matters relating to Music, Ministry, etc.

This month however, I thought I would take a few moments to talk about what I “do”.

I’m a pianist. Studied classical music for eight years when I was a kid. Grew up listening to all the Quartets of the day. (this was in the mid to late 60’s) We generally didn’t listen to secular music at home, and at that time it was either George Beverly Shea or Southern Gospel, and Southern Gospel was more interesting!

Played my first recording session at age 14, back in the Stone Age, before multi-track recording, headphones, and a lot of other modern “tools” of the trade!

Traveled for two years with the Sammy Hall Singers, then moved back to my home state of New Jersey and began traveling with my wife Sue for the next 30 years.

During that time I began to do serious studio work, resulting in my opening my own recording studio in 1977. Over the years I have played on, produced, engineered, mixed, etc. albums for artists like The Original Couriers, Doug Oldham, Jimmy Fortune, Dave Boyer, The Cathedrals, plus a lot of great artists you may or may not have heard of.

Realizing almost twenty years ago that music production was becoming increasingly “computer oriented”, I started working with MIDI Sequencing, which in English is the production of music tracks using computers, keyboards, and digital samples of orchestral instruments.

Which brings us to today. I now live in Nashville, TN, and I produce many tracks of songs of different genres and styles for artists to use. I still use “live” musicians as often as possible, when a client’s budget allows. (Still my preference!)

So, here’s my plug: I have a good reputation with many artists from around the country, thankfully! The reason is a I deliver a quality service (music production) as quickly as possible, and I strive to maintain the highest standards of ethics while doing so. (And I like to have fun while doing it!)

SO……if you need a custom Performance track, in your key, your style, for an reasonable price, or if you need Production assistance and arranging for your next album, AND you want to have fun while creating good music, give me a call!

Blessings,
