I'm A Street Musician Thanks for checking out my website. I'm a street musician or "busker" who works parties, bar events, and "crowd control", by playing happy music while people wait in line for events. I enjoy meeting people and I'm very pleased that so many folks like my music. The melodeon pictured here is a button accordion, the kind the mariachis, Cajun/zydeco musicians, and gondoliers play. It plays differently from the American piano accordion. I like playing the melodeon because it always sounds festive. My instrument is a German-style Hohner, designed in the mid-1800s. My instrument is 25 years old. I have been playing melodeon 25 years. I've also played the violin/fiddle and clarinet, though I prefer the melodeon.

Thank you for your help! My Biography: I have done many things in my life so far. I began
playing clarinet music at age 9, switched to violin at age 30, and today I play
the melodeon (button accordion) exclusively. I also sing. But my first career
was radio and TV broadcasting. I worked 12 years in broadcasting as a radio and
TV engineer, and also as talent as a radio DJ, talkshow host in Portland, and as
a TV movie host in Sacramento. I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area, and
have lived in SF, Hayward, Oakland, Richmond, and now Fremont. In March 2020 I got one of the worst cases of Covid-19 that UCSF Medical Center
and SF General Hospital had ever seen. I was in a coma for 12 days, in the
hospital for 3 months, and literally had to learn to walk again. I'm still a bit
stiff and sometimes use a cane. I have progressed a lot thanks to the folks in
the hospital and my physical therapist. Prior to March 2020 I had a successful career doing freelance computer and network technical support, but 3 months in the hospital unfortunately lost that career for me. I've been unsuccessful re-establishing that business. So, today music is my career once again. I love playing music, singing, and helping make people happy. |
