In 2001 Imet a guitarist, Bob Petty, and began a collaboration that lasted a year. I played lead guitar and sang harmonies on several Classic Rock pieces from the 60s and 70s.
Around 2004, I got together with former Monterey jazz quartet bandmate bassist Patrick Miller and we formed a duo playing guitars and singing classic Country music around the area. In 2005, after attending an Adult Ed Jazz Combo Workshop, I co-founded the Montecito Jazz Project band, playing bass guitar with drummer Tom Ray, guitarist Mark Coffin and saxophonist Jeff Regan. The group began performing locally, adding on keyboardists and soloists from the community when appropriate and including vocalists if desired or needed. Recently, post pandemic, I began a classic rock collaboration with guitarist Mike Petracca, vocalists Mary Jo Alberger and Larissa Schwartz.
