Thanks
for visiting my site! As you can see I started working on my sequencing skills at a very
early age. I bought my first sequencer in 1984 and began using the original DOS Cakewalk
software professionally in 1989. I guess you could say I've been doing this as long
as anybody.3-25-01
It's been almost a year now since this site was launched, and I just wanted to thank
everyone for it's tremendous success ! I'm 45 years old now and currently live outside
Richmond Virginia. At age 9 I began learning to play the sax and guitar,
played around with drums and piano later in my teens, then began my professional career as
a musician at 16 and attended music school for a couple years. I have been a member of
around 24 bands since then, playing every imaginable style of music, spending several
years on the road, also being based out of Virginia Beach , Miami, and Cape Canaveral.
Buffet Paris alto and tenor saxes, my Les Paul Special, and several keyboards have been my
tools of the trade.
The first 30 songs I sequenced was with the intention of performing as a sax single,
and soon found myself working as "Sax On The Beach" warming up for a comedy club
in Miami. Then my good friend Forrest Beverly decided that this was the wave of the
future, and began dropping off tapes of songs he wanted me to sequence so he could do the
same. Needless to say, being a seasoned singer entertainer, Forrest's future working with
MIDI files has been quite successful, whereas my instrumental solo aspirations slowly
faded away. I continued to work with several bands until a couple years ago, when a few
more people found out about my sequencing skills. I quit performing, launched this site
and here I am today having completed file number 600 and still going strong.
By the way, I have no staff or employees, and I work out of my home,
MY PHILOSOPHY ON SEQUENCING:
I have always felt that if an artist goes into the studio and toils over his or her
music for weeks and even months, who am I to reinterpret their hard work in a matter of
hours. I will always do my best to respect the artist's efforts, by covering songs as
accurately as possible.
