Composer
- Ciao Manhattan (1972) (songs)
... aka Edie in Ciao! Manhattan
He was not only one of the best practioners of what I like to call
"Lead Bass" he was also an accomplished pianist. He also spoke (and sang in) fluent Italian. His distinctive vocals
and songwriting were a great addition to any band he was involved in.
