ABOUT

Experienced guitar player & singer

No ego here! I have my profile posted on BandMix to see what's going on in the Port Charlotte / North Port area these days.

I used to play out quite a bit, but raising a family took priority at the time. I'd still like to get together with some like-minded musicians and pick a little. At my age (62) I'm not planning on "making it big" anymore, but I believe that with the right group of players, we could sound good!

I was raised on Country music, crossed over to rock, then settled into Southern Rock for many years. These days, I'm really enjoying older country music. But Skynyrd and the likes, have really nestled into a cavity of my heart and soul - I love that stuff.

Still, I find that Country Music is a lot of fun to play and sing (especially with my vocal range aging along with me). It seems that a lot of people around my age enjoy listening to older country music as well. I really dig some of the new stuff out there too. I guess I'm open to playing many genres of music, from bluegrass hard rock and pop.

If you'd like to pick a little, hit me up.

I've posted on Craigslist as well - see, I'm serious :)
