That’s him! Great guy and absolutely the busiest musician I know. Also the most reliable.

He plays in the trad group I started a few years ago and has never missed or even been late for a gig or rehearsal despite the fact that he lives on the North side of Chicago and most of our playing is 20 to 40 miles away in the Western suburbs.

How he manages to juggle performances and rehearsals for more than a dozen groups is amazing!
