Don started taking piano lessons when he was ten years old. Once he heard the likes of Santana, Chicago, and Blood, Sweat & Tears, Don joined his first band in about 1970 with some of his high school classmates and began developing his organ and, later, synthesizer skills. Don has had long tenures with top Mid Atlantic horn bands such as The Sentries, Brasswork, and Crowded Stage as well as enjoyed the rock genre with the Santana tribute band Gringo Jingo, the multi-act tribute Among the Stars, and The Bootleg Band. He made a foray into the Country Music scene with award-winning singer/songwriter Crystal Sands. Though comfortable playing piano and synth, Don is most at home behind his trusty Hammond. Don is the newest member of the legendary band, Great Train Robbery, who have shared the stage with many well-known acts such as The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foghat, Blue Öyster Cult, .38 Special, The Marshall Tucker Band, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Blackfoot, and more. Don looks forward to adding to the versatility of Great Train Robbery and bringing some new and exciting options to Great Train Robbery shows.
