ABOUT ME
I grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago where I learned to play several instruments during my adolescent years. My father wisely directed me to concentrate on becoming proficient on one of the several instruments at which I tried his hand. Taking his fathers advice to heart, I decided to play the saxophone. I now play the soprano, alto and tenor saxophones as well as the digital wind synthesizer & Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI). The saxophone is my primary instrument of choice, however in todays music skillful use of computers, cutting-edge technology, and synthesizers are important components in arranging and producing my original music compositions and World Wide Web presentations.

Happy Birthday, James! Like you, I was born and raised in the western suburbs of Chicago as well. I was born in Elmhurst and grew up in Roselle.  By the way, nice tracks!
