07.02.09 • Current project: arranging the music of Elton John for pops orchestra.

Still, how far out can you get with Crocodile Rock?
07.01.09 • And so yet another chapter of life begins. Time to revive the old web site and kick things into gear. Things on this page will be changing often, so please bear with the constant updates. Feel free to drop me a message, or better yet, contact me via Facebook!
