ABOUT

I just moved back to NYC and want to start playing music again. I have been playing electric and upright bass for over 30 years, and I have been working on my guitar playing during the pandemic. I am also a moderately competent drummer and can play most brass instruments (e.g., trombone, trumpet), although I'm a bit rusty. I'm open to almost any style of music as long as the company is good, although my favorites would be Americana, rockabilly, classic rock and 40's jazz.
