I'm interested in connecting with other musicians for a Stones/Blues/British Invasion/CSN&Y project.
Start with some covers, but I'm actually far more interested in finding songwriter collaborators.
I've got close friends who actually make a living as song writers, so I've got some ideas on how to do it.
I'm also a realist. Many try, but few get through the eye of the needle. So I'm doing this more to explore the creative force. I'm not chasing fame or fortune. Also- I prolly won't be much interested in playing in bars at 2 am.
I am fortunate to be able to play half dozen quality gigs a year in NY, and just want to play quality gigs locally. It isn't about the money for me. Musicians looking to make a living with this project prolly ought not to sign on.
I've gigged. A lot.
If this sounds interesting, throw up an ad for tw on cl Boise under 'musicians' and I'll reply.

I also really like the current indie music scene.
On the music posted online I did all vocals and instruments on "Can't stop thinking 'bout you" and "C ow Girl in the Sand". I wrote "Can't stop thinkin' 'bout you". I also co-wrote and sang "Down the River". That song was recorded at my song writing buddy's studio in Muscle Shoals.
EQUIPMENT
15 guitars; 3 or 4 amps, lotsa pedals; Nord Electro 3 keybord; several mics; powered monitors. It's an addiction...
