Hi and welcome to my website.

    Allow me to give you a small amount of very general background here on the homepage and then, for more specialized needs, please use the links at the left side of the page.

    I have spent the last 38 years as a full time professional in the entertainment business. Much of this time has been spent as a performer in popular Cleveland area bands such as Buckeye Biscuit Band, Ital, First Light, and (1990 - present) American Worldbeat Band Macaw. I have also worked in several capacities from project Co-Producer to Musical Director in addition to vocal and instrumental performance for local favorites such as Alex Bevan and Pat Dailey . (click here for a more complete discography and resume) More recently I returned to Kent State University where I completed their BA and MFA theatre programs and have since been teaching theatre criticism, theatre survey, and sound design and technology classes at the college level.

    As you can tell from this site, there are a number of sound, music, and entertainment services I now provide. Whether you need custom recorded music, theatrical sound design, or a band for your event, I'm sure there is something I can do to help. Call me at 330-677-4478 or email ron@rjarvis.com and lets talk.

    About the Site

I have tried to make the .mp3 audio and .wmv video downloads as accessible as possible while still maintaining much of their sonic and visual integrity. My apologies to those of you with dialup connections but the nature of audio files may have you experiencing some lengthy download times. Those of you with broadband connections should not have this problem.
