SEQUENCING EXPERIENCE, 25+ YEARS
In 1980 I started sequencing, making backing tracks for musicians and vocalist who didn’t have a band.
At present I’m doing the same for myself. My repertoire
Consist of songs from the 50’s thru the early 70’s.
For the past five years I’ve been playing, bars, lounges, private parties, clam bakes and wine tasting. My style and choice of songs have been well received on these ventures.
Normally I’m a one-man act, on special occasions I will hire an extra, such is the case with the video I’m sending.
The followering is a basic song list. This list is continually
Updated. I travel with my own equipment.
