Lively
Music
presented by an entertaining musician will motivate guests
to remember your event as an especially joyful experience! The
right musician can transform a simple social occasion into
a happy and memorable interaction of guests. The
right musician is the "life of the party" by putting life
into your guests! Who is the right musician? ONE YOU ENJOY
LISTENING TO!
When seeking to hire a musician for almost
any type of gathering, your goal is more than just finding
a person who can play tunes: You want a musician who plays upon
the heart and soul of your guests in an entertaining and inspiring
manner. In other words, you want a musician who is primarily an
"atmospheric engineer". That's me!
MY PERFORMING BACKGROUND
As a native of Atlanta and professional keyboard musician for
30+ years, I have enjoyed a variety of experiences through music!
I have performed as organist for
the Atlanta Braves and worked with notable personalities as
Liberace, Loretta Lynn, Melissa Manchester and Anita Bryant.
I have provided dinner music for state, national and international
dignitaries (including Georgia Governors, Senators, Congressmen,
the King of Belgium and Prime Minister of Canada). I've also
"played the atmosphere" at thousands of private occasions for
businesses and individuals, and have performed the music for
more than 4000 Wedding Ceremonies (even more Wedding Receptions)!
More recently, I authored the book, Piano Magic:
The Secrets of Playing By Ear - now in its EIGHTH PRINTING!
As a result of my book, I personally teach The Piano Magic
Workshop in 128 College and University Continuing Education
programs across the Southeastern USA...and over 7000 attending
students have learned to play using my Piano Magic method.
Although I am comfortable in a variety of settings,
my favorite events are occasions which promote an atmosphere
of celebration among friends and family.
INTEREST/FOCUS
I am particularly well suited for events where a wide variety
of ages are represented...such as Weddings, Receptions, Business
Events, Retirement, Birthday and Christmas Parties. I especially
enjoy "Sing-A-Long" Parties because they're just plain FUN (I
provide word sheets)!!
MY REPERTOIRE
With a strong background in family entertainment, I generally
provide a mixture of GREAT AMERICAN and INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS,
GOLDEN
OLDIES, CONTEMPORARY, light CLASSICAL, SHOW TUNES, MOVIE
THEMES, RAGTIME and BOOGIE WOOGIE. If your event is during the
Christmas season, I can provide more than 6 hours of non-stop
seasonal music with no repetition. In addition, I always encourage
requests from guests.
YOUR INSTRUMENT
I can be perfectly comfortable playing a house piano (or YOUR
instrument if one is available) and have the ability to make
it sound bigger and better than ever before - GUARANTEED! I
create a very unique sound by placing a set of Bass Pedals on
the floor underneath the instrument, played with my left foot.
The pedals add a dimension of depth and fullness that a piano
alone cannot achieve. The low sound of the Bass Pedal blends
well as an extension of the lower bass tones on a piano, giving
a sense of fullness and gentle rhythm that softly permeates
the atmosphere. Although it sounds great and makes a body feel
good, listeners generally are unaware of the additional instrument
- unless they LOOK! What's more, there is no additional charge
for providing Bass Pedals!
MY INSTRUMENT
If no instrument is available, I can provide a wonderful, versatile,
state-of-the-art Synthesizer Keyboard! It may look small
but it can pack a strong WALLOP of good sounds, feeling and
fun into an atmosphere! It can also "double duty" as a P.A.
system for vocalists, announcements or toasting.
My instruments are compact, sound excellent, offer
a fascinating listening experience for you and your guests and
cost 50% to 75% LESS than a piano rental company!
The fee for an event will sometimes vary depending
upon what you desire and when you want it.

but I will provide the information you request as quickly as possible.
