Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
Bass player looking for people to jam with. I think Jamming has become a lost art, back in the 70's we had jam sessions all the time and were able to express our feeling thru experimental instrumental music. I'm open to doing originals and I've come up with several bass grooves I think would be fun to jam on ( Sample) and would like to try and try to fit with others peoples jam ideas. we would also be able to record and who knows, we might end up writing songs.
Contact four,1,O- eight,5 seven- twelve twenty six or guyfergy at gee maiL doT coM. As far as practicing or gigging, I'm retired and am open to play both day and night.
I have mostly played in original rock bands in the late 70's, early 80's, but have played in country and top 40 stuff during the late 70's and early 80's as well Southern rock. I played with the Danny Denver band for a few years and covered 50's, 60's pop, Country, blues and old rock.I am 66 years old but age isn't important to me as long as we are on the same page with the music. I enjoy playing ballads as well and have backed up several female vocalist in the past. I'm pretty much open to playing anything that I can feel, I don't feel the heavy head banging stuff. Contact four,1,O- eight,5 seven- twelve twenty six or guyfergy at gee maiL doT coM. As far as practicing or gigging, I'm retired and am open to play both day and night.

This band was called Hollywood East and I was in this band from about 1999-2006. We did almost all originals and the covers that we did were done with our own spin on them. The recordings were done by Ray Tilkens at Ambient recordings.

Type-O originals
Type-O originals
This is a sample track from my 2nd band practice with Type-O back in the early 80's. This was recorded in a tiny little room on the 4th or 5th floor at 930 F street Washington D.C. The room was so small that we barely fit in there and we couldn't turn up the PA to get decent vocals. This was recorded on a tape recorder with 1 mic sitting in the middle of the room. The band became more polished and gigged in D.C. & Virginia.

Emotional Trampoline
Emotional Trampoline
Emotional Trampoline is another original recorded at Track Studio, Circa 1979-80

Sensitive Kind
Sensitive Kind Genre: Blues
This is a cover of a J.J. Cale song done with a little different feel, recorded live last November (2019) at the Woodstock Inn. This band was put together quickly to play a date that needed to be filled and with about six, 3-4 hour practices, So this is no way a polished band.
