I've been fortunate to have been able to perform with some of the biggest names in the music and entertainment industry. Here are some pictures I hope you enjoy.

With the fantastic Phyllis Diller. She would dress up as a musician and come down and sit in with the band on alto sax. She would surprise the guests by playing every wrong note possible! I have several of these "concerts" on tape and they are hysterical!

Playing percussion for Rita Moreno, I'm on the right in front of the stage.

That's me in 1988 before playing Sid's show. What a nice man and great performer.

One of the many times I've performed with The 5th Dimension

That's me at Criteria Studios in Miami before a recording session. It was a thrill to be at the studio where so many HUGE hits have been recorded.

The late Rosemary Clooney was on board the SS Norway in 1987 and I was fortunate to get to play with her. She was very nice and even gave me this autographed picture. A great memory that I'll never forget.

Signed picture from Kay Stevens - she was a lot of fun to play for and a very sweet lady.

That's me with the very funny Jerry Van Dyke before playing his show.

That's jazz great George Russell at New England Conservatory's Jordon Hall in Boston. I was fortunate to have been in his ensemble when I was a student at NEC.
