   I was born and raised in St. Francis, Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee. When my parents were bringing me home from the hospital, my father told my Mother that I would be an Accordion player. Well, he was right. I started taking lessons at the age of six and continued until I was sixteen. Even after that I would talk to other keyboard players to learn more about the theory of music.

    At age thirteen I started my first band playing for weddings, high school and college dances. While a senior in high school, I purchased a music school. I had an older lady, who taught piano; open and take care of business until I got out of school. I lost the business after Uncle Sam asked me to join him in protecting our country. By the time I got out of the service, I didn't have the money to buy a new music store so I got a job in construction (that was just for a while until I found my calling in life). My calling was retirement, because I worked forty years in that field.

    After I came back from the service, I started a new band, and we began playing at Night Clubs and Country Clubs. The pay was great, the band was very good and it was a lot of fun. Because we were very popular, some of the guys in the band started to think more about themselves than the people that we were playing for. Playing was not fun anymore so I packed the accordion away for twenty years.

    My lovely wife, Kaye and I decided to leave Wisconsin to see what life would hold for us in Arkansas. We thought we had died and gone to heaven. The state is beautiful and the people are kind, generous and just all around nice people.

    I got a chance to meet some the of the people that play in our Jamboree. I was taking pictures at that time. They found out that I played the Accordion and they, along with my wife, talked me into playing for one of the shows. The rest is history.
    I'm  happy doing what I love to do, and that's having fun with people.....
and maybe even playing a little music.
