Bio
    47 this march and ready to get busy with the music. I write country/folk and like all kinds of music. I am looking for great people with a little talent and a strong desire to play. I am working hard to fill my schedule this year with gigs and festivals and I need people who want to play! I play for free and I have played for a hundred plus an hour. You should be willing to as well. I am not about the money so you most likely will get paid when I don't. I would like some younger musicians who aren't too fat and tired to make some sacrifices and try new stuff.
    If this sounds like you then contact me, I care a whole lot more about Drive and ambition than ability so if you are still learning then great we'll learn together practice and determination overcomes "talent" everday!

Experience
  • Self taught. I play every chance i get and I have good equipment and willing to buy more. I have a good stage presence and love to play.
    I have played fairs and festivals, bars and brothels, Open Mics and street corners. I just love to play! How about you?
Looking For
  • some folks who want to play just about anything but I really like the new bluegrass jam,
    band sounds like "The Gourds" Gin and Juice just makes me go lunar.
    Heard the cars done bluegrass once, it was cool as hell.
    Just want to take peoples ears to another place and watch them smile and dance, ya know?

    Need a banjo, mandolin, lead acoustic or hell electric I don't care.
    Into off the wall stuff washtub bass is cool. washboard, tambourine accordion whatever makes people turn and look. I want to go down town and play in the street until the cops run us off! Then we can get a gig at the Taj Mahal...
