About me - longer version

I could add a lot more! I'll fill this in next year...


I work on other people’s projects, there’s not much on my sites.    

I’ve worked in video, satellite and encoding for many years.  I'm the tech support for my friends working with their projects.

I built the site, wrote the preface.  This is Gregory Shir, a professional movie-score violinist/teacher who discovered a way for his students to win prizes and created an exercise regimen based on the 24 Paganini Caprices with revised fingering and in an order that he believes they were intended to be played.   Gregory's an inventor, so he has several patents, and other ideas are in the works.

I build this site, too, and wrote the text.  Gregory noticed the piano does not have equally-spaced keys! I can't believe no one noticed this! His tiny adjustments to the width of the keys makes his piano easier to play.

Several projects with AlexisKrasilovsky.com – hologram, video, book    

This is my friend, Howie "Guitar" Smith.  We all have favorite musicians to play with and he's my fav.  However, he's (I'm) on the wrong coast, he's in NYC.  If you need a solo act or guitarist who's played with Dr. John and the Harlem Blues and Jazz Band - who has an encyclopedic knowledge of old jazz - like the stuff on redhotjazz.com - and can give you a nice funky music bed to bounce on, he's your guy.  youtube
He recorded this on a little 4track casette deck, played everything.

I sang and played this song:
"Take it to the Rue" on this album  https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/dlegacytdb
Doug Legacy produced it and made it into a silk purse.  My name got left out of the CD printing (fine with me, I have no desire for fame)
-  Alfred Johnson’s the writer, lives in Santa Monica – amazing! http://www.myspace.com/alfredjohnson

Recorded a CD with Marissa Gomez & The Ghosts of Echo Park - more at their website.  Marissa called me on the phone and sang her songs acapella, I put chords and arrangements.  Someday I'll put up the version of "Color Of My Love" that someone else made of it and you can decide how much I did.  https://soundcloud.com/theghostsofechopark

Substitute at the Red Lion piano bar, Glendale Blvd, SilverLake, (L.A.), Ca.    

I lived in Memphis, worked at Stax, played in some really good bands.  Played piano bar in Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, and Bangkok.    

Moved to Burbank, Echo Park in Los Angeles, then moved across the street and stopped moving.

Orioles are drinking me under the table!

I rigged the hummingbird feeder so the Orioles only empty it every other day.
