active in the late 60's,70's, mid 80's & briefly in early 90's doing school dances (late 60's-early 70's), clubs, some studio work, some bar/lounge tours, etc., have not been in a band in well over a decade now. chops are a little rusty, but coming back.
kids are older, so now I can play some again. interested in finding other players like myself who just wanna play, and don't care if we play out or not. just gotta scratch the musical itch I have had for 45+ years.
would like to do a fusion band ala' jeff beck, los lobotomies, dixie dregs, doves of fire and so on, but open to anything else.
can be reached at twisted-mister at mail dot com if interested in jamming.

You Know I Love You
You Know I Love You Year: 1991 Album: Live at Poor Red's, Memphis TN 1991 Genre: Rock
A fun night in '91. Joined this band an hour or two before this was recorded. This was an artist's showcase. We did two sets! About 8 originals and about 10-12 covers. The singer//guitarist/song writer played this for us on an acoustic in the parking lot during the break, then we all went in and played this and a few other originals he played for us. Song reminds me of Little Feat.
