ABOUT

A keyboard enthusiast, but I toy around with a lot of different instruments. I tend to gravitate toward music of the 80's, but have played all sorts of things over the years. I enjoy having fun in my home studio, toying around with lots of different things. Not really interested in a band, unless the right fit really comes along -- the right fit being guitarists/vocalists who love big harmony stuff. Love Rock, Celtic and Gospel - dislike Jazz, R&B, and Rap.
