I graduated Ithaca College '82 M.M. Music Ed. (Voice, Piano) and Cornell '70 B.A. I led the rock band THE CORVETTES for ten years of clubs, weddings, reunions, banquets, more weddings...

I founded and DJ'd a weekend specialty show for WVBR 93.5 fm radio, and was on the air as a volunteer for twelve years.

In 1978, I founded the WHITON CHORALE of the Ithaca Community School Of Music & Art (locally know as CSMA), directing it for four years. We performed almost exclusively acappella, very adventurous for an amateur group with casual committment!

Graduating I.C., I developed a songwriting workshop program for schools. During the space of ten years, I visited at over 100 Central New NY public schools, writing songs with students in every current pop style, performing many, many concerts. I'll put some excerpts on the web one of these days: some nice material (of course, my evaluation is somewhat biased...).

I come from Highland Park NJ. My first musical inspiration was my Dad, who liked to improvise on piano, and taught himself piano while in the Army during WWII. At age 10, I started on guitar, taking lessons in classical style, and teching myself the pop hits. Next came a folk music group, then rock bands, then classical piano, classical voice, choral music, saxophone, composing... Dance is the most recent, and equally consuming chapter. In 2005, I began teaching my son to play guitar! And in 2006, I started composing and recording dance music for my classes, and embarked on my first DVD project (dance instruction) bringing it all together! My second DVD project benefited from experience on the first one. I am very excited about it as it goes into its second year, already at the top of the list for Youtube and Google when searching for "Wedding Dance DVD" YOUR WEDDING DANCE: Beyond Hug & Wobble.

As a performer, I learned to put the happiness of the audience first.
As a DJ, I always put YOU and your guests first.
"Your satisfaction is my satisfaction." That is my professional motto.
