A fun discussion that includes:

His days living in Youngstown, OH that tells us how he was molded, his love of music, and how he got from there to Las Vegas. 

What he learned from travelling with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and his first gig in Las Vegas that brings some laughter. 

Being the music director for Paul Shaffer at Caesar’s Palace and working on the Grammy LP of Gladys Knight.

We get into his groups of Pop Strings Orchestra, Pop Evolution, Pop 40, and his other acts. 

How he landed becoming the house band for the LV Raiders, what this has done for him personally & professionally where he performed with Sammy Hagar at halftime. 

Setlists, going from 200 people to 60,000 fans and the atmosphere of the Monday Night Football game that opened the stadium. 

Obtaining all the musicians with vast experience in his groups and bands from past that have had an influence on him. 

What else he would ever be doing if wasn’t in music. (Great answer)
