 HERE IS THE CLIFF NOTES BIO:
I have been playing in bands since high school including school ensembles where I also played bass and guitar.  I majored on French horn at the U of  A and continue to teach music at Los Amigos Tech Academy.  I have had the pleasure to work with great Tucson Bands in the past.   Straight Shot, Stab in the Dark, The Bob Meighan Band, Tony & the Torpedos and The Wild and Crazy,,, Chuck Maulstby aka Chuck wagon and the Wheels, and a few other less memorable bands loaded with great musicians.  My main instruments; Hammond organ and Piano. 
I hope you enjoy the clip here which is a solo section taken from my own arrangement of Amazing Grace performed in memory of those I have been lucky to have known and loved.
