Favorites
Heading for a road date in Washington, DC
with my good friends Johnny Strickler - Guitar
and Richard Bruton - Sax.  Listed below  are
the musicians from my
Santa Rosa CD along
with some of my  favorite links and friends!
Skiles and Henderson

My good friend Pete Henderson and his partner the late Bill Skiles
began their career in the early days of Disneyland, by making fun of
their employer.  Walt Disney thought they were cool, so Bill Skiles
and Pete Henderson were chosen to host The Mickey Mouse Club
International TV series as "Hub and Bub."  Pete currently performs
with
The New Christy Minstrels.

Richard Bruton

Based in the Springfield/Branson area, Richard is one of the finest
jazz saxophonists on the scene today.  You can hear him playing in a
variety of venues in the area with his quintet,
The Jazz Mafia.
Richard has performed across the globe and in many Branson area
shows including Tony Orlando, Breakfast with the Classics and many
others.  Richard's improvisational skills and contribution to this
project on both sax and flute were invaluable.
Robin Hendry

Originally from the St. Louis area, Robin has been living and working
as a performer and teacher in the Ozarks region since 1995. His
performance credits include set and percussion work at the Shoji
Tabuchi Theater for 9 seasons, Silver Dollar City, percussion with the
Springfield Symphony, and numerous sets in Springfield area venues.
He currently holds teaching positions at Evangel University, Central
Bible College and Drury University.   When conceiving this project,
Robin was Steve's first choice because of his experience, versatility
and finesse as percussionist.
Kelly Brown

Kelly lives in the Springfield area and is very active in local music
clubs and studio recording sessions.  His contribution to Santa Rosa
was exceptional...with keyboard skills that added a higher dimension
to the album.
Michael Heavner

My good friend Mike Heavner of Little Rock is on the
faculty of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.  Please
