I've played trombone for 59 years and bass guitar for 55 years. I've played in orchestras, jazz/swing bands, rock bands, and duos. I read, play by ear, and improvise. Although I'm best on trombone and bass guitar, I also double on guitar and keyboards. I'm a very good background singer (no leads). I operated a professional recording studio in Phoenix for 31 years and won several awards for jingles and post-scores I wrote and produced.
