"I volunteered for the bass desk (from the depths of the second violins) in Bucks County Youth Orchestra in 1969, and have still not stopped loving that sound. The double bass comes alive when played, and makes the perfect dance partner. I have played across many genres and especially enjoy playing music for dancing (I do like a groove), as well as the joy of spontaneous free improvisation. The peak joy in making music for me is “clicking” as a unit with other artists, and flowing along with that."
