Try to ignore Glenn singing along, and enjoy as much of this sheer perfection as you like. See how it ends!

For the thirty years I have composed, performed and recorded in many different bands and for commercial and artistic projects of every kind. I have written music for the theatre, and art installation. I play piano, keyboards, guitar and bass. Currently, I perform Piano Solo and in Jazz combos. I also play in an original rock band.
