About
I'm a well rounded musician. I can improvise, read and write with a degree in music composition. Although most of the people I play with don't read I don't care as long as you play good notes. I enjoy chamber music whether with a guitar of a string quartet.
Influences
Blues, Rock, Classical, Bluegrass etc. Listened to and played lots of Grateful Dead in my 20's. But as any working musician knows, you play what you get payed to play. So I'm comfortable in most genres of music except hip hop and rap.
Equipment List
Yamaha P250 full 88 keyboard, Lots of violins, violas and mandolins both acoustic and electric. For an amp I use a small PA, it works better for piano. Good transportation etc.
