Biography

I met Jesus Christ in the tuning room of Symphony Hall in Boston in January, 1973.  Just me and my Alexander tuba, when I asked honestly and loudly into the air, “JESUS! If you are REAL, will you let me know?!”  A few seconds later, I said, “You ARE real…….,” as He filled the room…….

He has never left me.  He has turned me upside down, set me free, healed my emotions, given me the most wonderful wife, and given me the Holy Spirit, and has saved me from eternal destruction in the Lake of Fire.  And He is the sole Reason why I left the Boston Symphony and Boston Pops.
