SEEKING
Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Vocalist - Soprano, Vocalist, Other, Drums.ABOUT
I moved from Tx to N. Ga in 2014.
—>I'm a lead guitarist, multi-keyboardist, & strong backup singer…. mostly a keyboardist these days.
—>I can carry the full arsenal of keyboards in my laptop these days. No need for a bobtail truck anymore.
—> I'm currently just composing and playing at home, mostly on my keyboards at the moment, but need to get out and play live again some.
I started playing piano at 5 in southern Ca. Teacher taught me to play and like classical and motion picture themes. Picked up trombone in 7th grade.
Started learning guitar in 8th grade. Switched to bass and played Motown/Stax and pop music in bands in the 60's. Switched back to guitar & rock when Hendrix, Cream, Deep Purple, etc came out.
Then added keyboards and upped to progressive rock when groups like Yes, ELP, etc hit the scene (guitar&keyboards). Stayed in that realm thru the 90's. Started playing pretty much anything from then until now.
***—> I posted some live recordings of my bands below, but they're mostly simple 80's analog tape recordings. I put in parenthesis the inst’s I played).

An instrumental, I played all the instruments. It was done quickly, so it's not perfect. I've played so many styles in my life, this is just one piece of the puzzle. But I'm mostly a clean rocker.

Chipmunks Revealed -(pitch shifter)
Chipmunks Revealed -(pitch shifter) Track number: 1 Year: 2013 Album: Chipmunks Genre: Other
Ross Bagdasarian Sr was the original male voice behind all three of the Chipmunks. Here is what his voice sounded like before speeding up the tape. I imported this song to Acoustica’s “Mixcraft” DAW, split up the track strategically & used their built in real time pitch shifter to shift down an octave. The slowed clips are what the original slowed down tape sounded like. (Except it sounds like some modern harmonic sweetening has been applied to the sound file. Yes I do have my original 45rpm! But this copy had no pops)
