That's a lot of questions: Here's my quick bio...

I'm a 45 year old keyboard player that plays keys, electric guitar and harmonica in a four piece British Invasion Tribute band in the NJ tri-state area (our ages are 45-52). That's my main band...I also fill in with a few other bands. I'm a "live" guy...don't like studio work.

During the summers I play 3-5 nights a week, little less in the spring and fall...very slow during the cold months in NJ.

I make between $300-350 a night. I'll go down to $200 if I'm filling in. I rarely play bars/clubs (no money there anymore)...mostly theatre shows, municipal shows (band shells in the park) and state fairs. I also play my share of weddings, bar mitzvahs, country club affairs and benefits. As a piano player, I can do solo cocktail hours at private affairs and restaurants if I need.

I am also the president CEO of my own web design company.

My advice? Number one, don't do drugs. Number two, show up on time. Number three, don't be a dick. Number four, wear a clean shirt. I also don't drink at all...neither do my band mates. It simply gets in the way.

Put business first...that's what made me successful in both of my businesses.
