I have also developed extensive abilities for dealing with the eccentricities of major star-quality musicians & technicians all over the world. Stage Manager for the '87-'89 Gregg Allman Band Tour was my last major touring tech work. Audio for Casio's first infomercial  1996 was my last nationally affiliated work in Florida. Many Scandinavian tours playing traditional blues with Rock Bottom (Parsifal Artist) & a stint with The Gregg Allman Band have been highlights during my 18 years there. I moved to Texas in 1998 & started work with Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets featuring Sam Myers. Since Sam's passing in 2006, I have taken the position on keys with Andrew "Jr Boy" Jones and we are touring successfully worldwide.
