Jon Raney

Many of you might be surprised that my actual profession now is in IT as a Salesforce Administrator, but hey that’s life! I play now mostly for enjoyment in my apartment on my Yamaha keyboard. I’ve dedicated a new tab to these little keyboard musings here on my site. However if anyone is looking for my ensemble samples of my playing, below are some things.
