Experience and Repertoire |
I have been performing since 1967 in Piano Bars, Hotels, Restaurants, Theatres, and as background music in a department store. Specializing in the music of Broadway, standards of the 1920’s – 1950’s and popular music, I enjoy allowing the customer a chance to be a ‘star’ by singing a song or two with me when appropriate. My favorite composers include Elton John, James Taylor, Carole King, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers and Johnny Mercer. In addition to the many English songs I play (estimated over 10,000), I can also play many Spanish, French and other International songs to please most cultures and tourists around the world. |
