A Lifetime of Musical Experience
Since 1965, I've been a professional accordionist with a rich history of playing in various bands across the Detroit Metropolitan area. My journey began with The Knight Kats, a 5-piece wedding band, which I joined as a high school senior and continued throughout my college years at Eastern Michigan University, where I also shared my passion for the accordion through teaching the accordion.
Following my time in the Army, I joined The Highlanders, a popular big band, playing weekly at the bustling Wyandotte/Riverview Moose Club for eight years. During this period, I also performed with The Wayne Warren Trio.
Later, in the 1980s through the early 2000s, I rekindled my musical connection with former Knight Kats members for weddings, parties, and reunions.
