Leader of the Band

Having a great time performing with BRP! Our next gig is at Cheers in Vacaville. January 18th, 9:30 – 1:30

In December I was hired to play tenor saxophone with The Temptations at the Jackson Rancheria. the show lasted about two hours with four standing ovations. The band instrumentation was two keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and five horns. I got four solos and fun was had by all!!!

We had our first reunion performance in 37 years, in Atlanta, Georgia. It was for The Misawa Project – the Misawa Japan Air Base reunion that is held every year in different places in the USA. Next year it will be in St. Louis. We played on the air base from 1973 to 1975 and in the surrounding area of Japan. The reunion performance was July 9, 2011 and we had a blast.
