- 88 Key Reasons -

At the age of 10 years old, I got my first piano. One of my earliest desires was to become a pianist. In those early years, I would sit and watch other musicians on TV and "DREAM" of being on the BIG STAGE! My first piano teacher was FRANK CATANZARO. WOW, what a teacher and showman! I studied with Frank for 10 years. He fascinated me with showmanship and teaching me how to take control of the 88 keys.

Many pianist down thru the years have inspired me. Another such man was FLOYD CRAMER. The first time I met him was in Greenville, SC during a concert back stage. His kind words has been motivation for years and years.

OTIS FORREST is another motivator. Otis as a Record Producer and session player in Nashville, Tn., I would sit with him for hours watching and hearing new sounds and piano licks that I have used for years.. .Music is like life, it's so important !!!
