Pian-oho-gonzology . . .


OHO is about as Baltimore as steamed crabs and natty boh. From the furtive minds and dogged persistence of Messrs. Graboski and Reeve flows much musical mayhem which continues to this day. My
association with these gentlemen began in the mid 1970s playing cover music for private affairs, social club events and periodic nightspots. I 'retired' from that in 1979 but the bond had been formed. Through periodic yet ever-present contact with Jay, a connection remained. OHO entered the next chapters of their story, producing an abundance of beautiful and rocking' music. Then in 2010, a musical showcase was planned which was to include OHO, participation in which was offered to me. Playing original music exclusively for this event and reuniting with Jay and David was a prospect I found irresistible. From that point, we were together again, poised and ready to make more music. The album GAZEBO began to take shape while work continued/continues on AHORA. . . and OHO goes onward!

". . . OHO? Aha! That's a name that rings bells. Baltimore's answer to Pink Floyd, an American underground icon, a band that came out of nowhere playing music the chroniclers swore was years ahead of its time. OHO sneaks around the musical conventions that have mummified so many others, unleashing sliders where you'd expect curve balls, fast balls where you'd expect change-ups. Part of its their sense of humor, part of it their unerring humanity.  Definitely, one of a kind and all in good fun...its got to be. . ."
