OK... I've been playing for about 30+ years. So I guess you can call me seasoned. I played out a lot in the late 80's and early 90's before family and career obligations replaced playing time. My main instrument is guitar and guitar synths but I've been playing a lot of bass lately too!

I'm curently looking for drummer and Bassist who can hold it all together. I'd also like to add Keys or a second guitarist or sax with similar interests to create a project that will be an eclectic mix of style but still very approachable by a contemporary adult 30's-40's-50's something audience. Kind of a Level 42 meets (80's Belew) King Crimson meets Simply Red with a little Chick Corea, Police and a bit of edge mixed in kind of thing. A little complex but still funky and fun. The final cast of characters will determine the projects sound and feel. I have pro gear and professional attitude but the working environment (my home studio) is fun and casual. I'm looking for fun committed people with no hang-ups to jam with first and work into a project. I can't do the full time 3 days a week practice and gigging thing. Work and family come first. But... a couple times a month practice and some independent work could turn into a cool project.

The tunes above are sample recordings of current material all recorded at different times using differnt methods. None of them are complete or final recordings.
