Gary studied violin with Walter Riedger of the St. Louis Symphony but his passion has been the guitar since his early teens. Gary joined the musicians union while in high school and got a chance to experience the end of the big band era playing with several bands (Johnny Polzin, Lester Lanin and others) at landmarks like Casa Loma, the Chase Hotel and the Admiral.  Gary’s recordings include jingles, an LP and several CDs, and he has performed at numerous shows, concerts and jazz festivals. Gary “doubles” on bass, piano, banjo, violin and does arrangements for the band. Following multiple careers in business and psychology Gary’s primary focus is now on music and  technology.
