Drums.ABOUT
I am a veterinarian by profession and playing harmonica since 1965. At one time or another I've played every kind of American music there is: blues, bluegrass, rock, rockabilly, country, folk, jazz, R & B, old timey, square dances, western swing, jump bands.
I'm sure I'm leaving something out, but I bet I've played it. All I ask is "what key are we gonna play in?"
In 2019, Dr K cofounded the band BlueBack which can be found on Reverbnation or with 3 other musicians with over 200 years of experience between us. BlueBack plays blues, roots and originals.
The pandemic nearly shut us down and our drummer left town. We have been gigging with good sit-in drummers but we need a regular drummer.
Contact me at pillarsofheaven if you are interested, experiences and skilled.
