I was fortunate to have parents who made the ordinary, extraordinary. This song is a composite of what took place many mornings in my childhood. Hope you enjoy it.

Social Distancing Gig for Seniors
My first paying gig in 7 months had me performing for residence at a nursing home in Beaverton, Oregon on Tuesday, September 22. I was hooked up via a bluetooth headset/mic that was connected to a small bluetooth speaker that a nurse would take from room to room so the residents could hear me.
Some of the sweetest smiles and reactions I’ve ever received took place. Residence would sing along in their chairs or beds, some of them grooving as best they could. Some of the best 90 minutes I’ve had during these Covid days.
New Song – Talk To Lee
Been wanting to celebrate my friendship with my longest friend from first grade.
New Song – When Heroes Die
Wrote this song in 2016 during a time when many of my musical heroes were dying. It also seems to be appropriate to what’s going on now in our COVID-19 world.
I would say enjoy this song, but that seems a stretch. May you find some comfort knowing you’re not alone with your feelings.
Some new photos
New photos to share. Thanks to my son in law, Mikhail Ramadhar for the photo shoot.
New Recording – You’re So Much Fun
The band I’m in, HomeBrew, recorded an original song of mine back in Nov of 2018. We released it on Christmas Day. You can go to my Bandcamp page, and listen to the song. If you like it, you can download it as well. Thanks for you continuing support.

Back to Rose City Food Park This Friday
I’m back again this Friday evening, July 13, at Rose City Food Park from 6-8pm. Great evening to bring the family, date night, whatever it may be. Wonderful vendors and some outstanding food.
I’ll play my take on lots of cover tunes from 50s-60s-70s, add a few originals just to spice it up. I would love to see some familiar faces and a few new ones. Please join me this Friday evening.

GoFundMe “You’re So Much Fun” – The Song
This is a dream.
I’ve been playing in a band called HomeBrew for 4 years. Technically, we’re a hobby band made up of medical personnel. A few doctors and medical assistants. I am not a medical person. We play vintage R&B, Swing and Rock. We are a 10 piece band with horns.
October of 2017, our band played for a medical fundraiser that was called, “Battle of the Doctor Bands.” Each band must have at least one doctor in it. There were three bands and 3 judges. The judges were radio personality, Dave Scott, pianist, Michael Allen Harrison, and the drummer for Steppenwolf, Ron Hurst
All the judges were very supportive of our band. Michael Allen Harrison, though, made special reference to my original in our 4 song set, even quoting some of the lyrics in his feedback.
After the event, I went to thank the judges for coming and being supportive of local music. Michael made it a point to tell me that my song needed to be recorded and sent to all kinds of music publishing and record companies because as he stated to me, “It needs to be in a movie….even if you’re not performing it, it needs to be recorded.”
Since then I have contacted a long-time friend who has worked with top musicians from Everclear to Sheryl Crow, to be our sound engineer and producer. He has agreed to help produce, “You’re So Much Fun,” which is an R&B/Pop, feel good love song.
If you wish to donate, here’s the GoFundMe link.
Thanks for your continued support.

Chris never fails to bring quality sound, original tunes, great covers, and positive energy to our guests at Rose City Food Park. His sound transcends generations and will have you smiling and moving your feet without even knowing it!
-Ashlee Turner, Rose City Food Park, Manager
I have known Chris Taylor for many years and had the pleasure of hiring him to play live music at our clinic, to help us celebrate the 25th anniversary of our business. We had never tried anything like that before and I was very pleased with how it went. Chris was prompt, professional and sounded great. He interacted with our patients and staff easily and the atmosphere he helped us create really enhanced our celebration.
