oldest of ten children, and of a musical family. Mrs. “Mom Sigworth”
Maynes, a trained concert pianist retired at the ripe old age of 20
years old to raise children. “In our family, if you didn’t play a
musical instrument you sang. That also meant the harmonies...a good part
of our Dad’s salary went to buying musical instruments.”

been a school band director, and has played many styles of music and
venues. Whether it was performing with concert bands, big bands, combos,
on a cruise ship or in the studio he has always felt right at home.

and his father’s Hispanic heritage, the jazz of the 1950’s, 1960’s and
the Rock/Pop sounds of the 1950’s to today. Juan Oskar Facebook Page
