Thanks for listening to my practice track. At this time I am (not looking) to join a group or band. When I reach a level of playing that I feel is adequate I may pursue a band or other interests. I am currently practicing more and learning to record. I feel that I need to improve a great deal before taking on a band situation. I am available to share ideas and to have any other conversations related to music/instruments that may be of help to others. Many of you out there could possibly give me some advise in recording, I would appreciate it! I play for a hobby and my goals at this time are to improve as a guitarist and to improve in recording. Thanks

I play music for a hobby, I have played with a few garage bands that didn't work out way back. After the teenage wannabe got out of my blood I started a family and was working all of the time and the rock n' roll dreams set in the corner collecting dust, but never leaving my heart. Recently having an accident at work that nearly cost my life, I've gone through some changes that has made me realize that I only live once and the desire to play again has really reignited in my spirit. So I am concentrating on my playing again and learning how to record using a new studio/recorder that I have just purchased. I try to express my passion for music in my playing, giving everything I have in each recording! Knowing that my playing isn't that great, but at the same time I am giving it my all! I love to play!

I play and have played several different instruments, mainly playing the "guitar since 1985". Growing up around music, my father was a guitarist of over 60 years and was a very good player. He was always trading instruments and I would try different ones out when he got them. So I was influenced by my family in music from an early age.

I am very "rusty" as the saying goes. I have been a truck driver for the last 10 years and most of that time I was over the road staying away from home for a week at a time to two months at a time. I wasn't able to practice very often and now I'm picking the guitar back up, trying to improve my playing and learning how to make decent recordings, just having some fun.

My recording skills are just above zero. I haven't done much recording other than audio cassettes way back. I am just having fun recording and jamming again, with a new frame of mind.

Thanks for listening to my music! If you like what you hear, feel free to contact me on MySpace. Thanks
