Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Pebble Beach Golf Course, on Patio overlooking the Ocean, next to the world-famous 17th hole


What's your favourite type of event?

Parties of All Kinds, Birthday, Anniversary, Weddings, Wine Tastings, Corporate Events, etc.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I picked up the accordion after college when I didn't have a piano available. Self taught. Played for pleasure for about 10 years. Played as a volunteer for Bread and Roses, an organization founded by Mimi Farina (Joan Baez's sister) to send musicians into institutional settings. Mimi called me one day for a paying gig at a book signing for Alice Waters (Creator of California Cuisine) When I was done, the bookstore owner went to the register and gave me $75 cash. I thought "This is cool!" and decided to learn all the favorite accordion songs and put myself out there. There was no internet, and for years I had a small print listing in the yellow pages under "Musicians." A-A Strolling Accordion for Parties. I was the first listing, and some people thought "Well he's going to be cheaper than a band." The rest is history


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

This is really hard. Greatest song of all time? Come on. How about French? "La Vie en Rose" by Edith Piaf. Italian? "The Godfather Theme" by Nino Rota, German? Hofbrau House by Who Knows?


What other interests do you have?

I have been a lifelong painter, mostly representational landscapes. I also teach an architectural modeling program.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

My set up is quick, 15 minutes


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I ask the clients what type of music they want, and also if they have a favorite song, which I will learn if I don't already know it.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

"You Made the Party!"
