Imagine for a moment, the formula for a totally new concept in live music:

Step One: acquire professional entertainment and performance skills by performing
in a variety of venues, for over three decades;

Step Two: build a state-of-the-art digital recording studio, acquire some serious
recording microphones, sixteen vintage guitars, a 1950s Hammond organ,
some MIDI keyboards, drum simulators, vocal processors and sound mixers.
Then pick up a top notch PA system for live performance;

Step Three: carefully select a timeless repertoire' of meaningful music,
then record the background parts into a digital music format;

Step Four: perform the repertoire' live, singing and playing the vocal and guitar parts
in real time, along with the background parts that you've meticulusly prerecorded.

Concept Advantages:

Greater Volume Control: Live bands are always too loud for smaller rooms.
They need to cover the sound of live drums. Working with recorded drums gives
unlimited control over volume - from a whisper to a roar!

Less Demand on Floor Space: All the sound of a full band...in the space
of a grand piano!

Greater Instrumental Variety: From vintage organs to tubular bells
to “Tango Accordions” - all the right sounds for the music!

Dining, Listening ...and Dancing Too!  From a quiet "dinner set", to
blistering dance sets, Don produces all the dynamic range your patrons demand!
