Primarily a guitarist(20 years), bass player(10 years), I have been in bands for 20 years, and I was "the active one" in all of them. I was the primary songwriter, the one who did all the computer work (web, flyers, emails, and recording etc..)so I do all that stuff reasonably well at this point. My last band in NY finished about 2 years ago, and now I'm living in MA looking to put something new together. I have a lot of versatility, but lately I've been doing recording at my apt. PC, Pod X3, Cubase, and EzDrummer. I've been recording since 1995, and worked as a session player in NY area studios from 1999-2004 or so. I do work a day job, but I have a fair amount of free time to work with.
