The Mustangs band does a Remembering Woodstock show which includes songs from Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, The Who, The Band, CSN and Joe Cocker. It's a kick ass experience!

I believe I'm going on three years now. I've got a dozen or so students, both male and female, of various ages and talent ability. I teach them proper breathing and support techniques. Also, work to expand vocal range.

I've actually been singing forever. Just about anyway. I also play piano. Not great, just enough to sing along with. I wrote my first song in high school. My first paying 'gig' was when I was 15. I sang for a wedding ceremony. From there, I continued writing songs and singing for ceremonies. Since then I've been with several different bands, duos and other various combo groups. I also did solo shows of singing and playing keyboard, incorporating my original tunes. I prefer singing with a band though. Playing and singing is difficult for me, especially by myself with people watching! The singing I have no problem with but the playing...at times I felt I had no control of my fingers! So, currently I sing with two bands. Night People is a classic rock band with me as their primary lead singer performing cover tunes from the likes of Melissa Etheridge, John Mellencamp, Bad Company, Fleetwood Mac & Sheryl Crow. 5th Element is a dance band for which I'm one of three singers. Two of the other guys in the band also sing. We do more retro type dance tunes. I love vairety so I enjoy having the outlet with the two bands to do different styles of music. I also perform solo, using pre-recorded tracks, at retirement and assisted living facilities. When I perform at these locations, I sing oldies and standards. They love it and so do I!I also do DJing when called for. I have a huge library of music and keep the people dancing.

I'm working there part time in order to obtain medical benifits as well as supplemental income.

It was AT&T when I started in domestic development in the routing area. From there I moved to data and then to documentation; always on the domestic side. I worked on telephone features such as Call Waiting, Call Forwarding and Caller ID. I also did some development for mobil call routing.
