Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar.ABOUT
Been making music for almost 40 years on a variety of instruments (someone once joked that if they cut me I'd probably bleed music...they weren't far off), but have focused primarily on bass guitar through the years.
I love a variety of genres of music but have been focusing mainly on jazz, blues and blues-rock. Of late, I've been sitting in on a local bluegrass jam on upright and am finding that's a blast...and re-discovering groups like the Grateful Dead, Seldom Scene, etc.
On a personal level, I'm pretty chill (but quite social), like to have fun and love to help others have fun. I'm generally very punctual, have a great sense of time, and can't stand it when people habitually show up to rehersals/gigs unprepared.
Give me a shout...I'd love to jam with you!

MUSIC

After Midnight Jam
After Midnight Jam Genre: Blues
Laying down the bass line on a jam track inspired by Gary Moore's After Midnight from SBL on a snowy day. Noticed some clipping at the start as I was mastering it but don't have time to re-mix (it's not clipped in the original).
