Jay Vern~ Musician, songwriter & producer. Most of the piano, strings and organ played on my demos is Jay; a truly gifted artist and fellow paisan.
Ron Cornelius~ I credit Ron as the first Nashville publisher to believe in me. Award winning writer, guitarist and producer; and one of my first friends in Nashville.
Fred Foster~Monument Records founder, writer and producer (Roy Orbison). Fred took me under his wing in the 90's, and used to refer to me as "the breath of fresh air that just blew into Nashville." Amazing!

Tommy Giampietro~ BadaBing BadaBoom drummer, former roomate, and Playstation Hockey rival. Groovemeister. Period.
Chris Enghauser~ BadaBing BadaBoom's original bassist. Composer, teacher, and the swingingest bass player I know. Chris helped develop our sound, and me as a writer of swing music.
Stephan Dudash~ 5-String Violalist/composer with BadaBing BadaBoom; also played guitar, bass and mandolin. Stephan is perhaps the most gifted and versatile musician with whom I've ever shared a stage.

Andy will kill me for posting this. We shared a pad, and spent way more $ on hair product than food. Dig, Andy.
Me & JC Scott, HORSE OPRA days, early 80's. JC sang like no other human I have ever known. I often wonder, had he/we come to Nashville in those days, what might have been.
Damian Boucher~ Charismatic fiddler with Horse Opra (1979-1984). Damian had amazing energy, and along with myself and JC Scott, formed the nucleus of Horse Opra.
Songwriters and publishers softball team. There was alot of talent on this team. Unfortunately, the talent was musical. Recognize anyone?
