ABOUT

I've been playing guitar for over 40 years and consider myself a high functioning amatuer. Also play a bit of keyboards, penny whistle and harmonica. I play by ear and pick up tunes very fast (one or two listens).

I also write songs as they pop out of my head from time to time. I enjoy writing in general, but especially like poetry.

Looking for musicians and especially vocalists to jam and perhaps record demos with, maybe play out. I've a large library of unrecorded progressions/tunes I'd ultimately like to develop. Email CliffFromTroy(at)g-m-a-i-l(dot)com
