Bio
-
I started playing piano as a child, liked music right away. as a teen I learned you met more girls with a guitar, & so I started playing guitar. that may make me sound shallow, but I'm in good company, as John Lennon stated that he originally learned guitar to meet girls also. As I played in a number of bands, we kept needing bass players, so I started to play bass , not willingly but out of necessity. after playing bass more & learning more about bass I now like it better then guitar. I started singing back up & as years went by I was asked to sing more & more leads.

Experience
- 12 years playing guitar then 15 years of playing bass. Over 20 years of band experience, all rock & some blues.
Looking For
- A current rock band. A 4 piece ( bass, drums & 2 guitars, hopefully one of the guitars can play some keys and one, two, or all players can sing some of the songs).I can do a little, some or most of the singing. I will do some classic rock, but less then 25% of the set list would be classic rock & 755 or more would be current rock (to me mid 80's and older is classic rock, 90's & newer is current rock).
