About

DOES ANYONE WANT TO PLAY ALL THE GREAT HARD ROCK / METAL FROM THE 80'S AND 90'S??? DIO, PRIEST, HALEN, OZZY, RATT, QUEENSRYCHE, AND SO MUCH MORE!! as well as work on ORIGINAL compositions!! for FUN at first, then see where it may go. WHERE ARE ALL LATE 40'S EARLY 50'S MUSICIANS WHO GREW UP AND WERE INSPIRED ON ALL THOSE BANDS / ARTIST'S ABOVE?? if you were in bands that played clubs, you most likely NEVER played all or most of those great songs... outside of the same old hits.... when there was so much more fantastic songs that you were dying to play!! THE DRUMMERS, BASS PLAYERS, KEYBOARDS AND S I N G E R S!! that great music needs to be played and i am looking for like minded people of the same mindset! COME ON ALREADY!! WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?? HAVE A GREAT TIME PLAYING THE MUSIC THAT INSPIRED US, THAT DROVE AND DRIVES US... THE MUSIC WE LOVE!! we are NOT getting any younger and time is still on our side! if van halen and aerosmith and others, can ROCK THE sh*t OUT OF THE NOW GENERATION and all their crappy modern, auto-tuned music, in their late 40's or 50's, so can we! LETS HAVE SOME FUN!! i have only my love of this music to drive me. so, here i am.. Self-taught, proficient, capable, ORIGINAL rhythm/lead hard rock / metal guitarist HUNGRY to play/record with others, for FUN and/or more, NO stressful commitment or expectations other than the desire to play the music we love, available for session, studio recording, writing, gigging, etc. Been playing guitar for over 30 years. Love to write/create RHYTHM/melody driven songs with a DRIVE and GROOVE. I have no insane ego; just the desire to play. I'm a young, healthy, fit 51 with loads of energy looking for others to work/play with. Want to get together for the love of playing and creating music not only for our own satisfaction, but for possibly more. i know there are others like me who just need the right situation. i haven't been playing all these years for nothing!! maybe 'you' feel the same?? lets get together and see what we can do!! i LOVE to 'lock in' with a drummer who has a natural 'street' feel; drive a rhythm forward. i am not much of a singer, but for my material, i can get the point across to another who can do the job...but, do it my way first.. then we can see how 'your' ideas work. i am no better than anyone else and do not measure others. i am me. i know what i want (i hope so) and expect nothing from another that i don't expect from myself. my schedule is pretty flexible day/nite. have enough gear to do the job whatever it may be. if you want to hear what i have done in the past, go HERE:

what i write now, or how i write now, is somewhat along the lines of the songs at these 2 sites of mine. just an idea for those interested in finding out what i am. for lack of a better word, what i am 'about'. i know there are musicians / singers out there... lets see what happens!! age?? 40's and over is fine if only for the seriousness, experience, 'maturity', etc. it brings with it.
