ABOUT

Quick update - was offline for a while given some needed hand surgery++. If even playing for fun with like-minded people, I'm eager to play with others again.

Played in bands ranging from R&B, rock, jazz, folk, to everything in between.

Actively looking to be part of a band that balances with my family/work life, i.e. I want to play and have fun exploring music! Curtis Mayfield on the way to a Grateful Dead concert and Sly is driving the van. Someone wake up Jeff Beck whose asleep in the back seat with his head resting on Ginger Baker:). Oh crap. We got to go back and pickup Arthea!

I'm also interested in being part of a jazz group where its members are all learning together. Perhaps not as a group we would showcase, but more of like-minded musicians learning this complex world of jazz.

Otherwise I am a mature professional family man with a long dedication to music. Student of music and still taking lessons, and I use this education to largely influence what I can play in rock, blues, jazz, jam, improvisational, etc.

EQUIPMENT

Pro quality electric and acoustic instruments as well as amplifiers. High quality PA speakers with a low quality, small mixing board (no subwoofer). Quality vocal mic, amp mic, stands, cables, power, etc. BTW - I have all this good stuff because I love my passion for music not because I am a collector. Quality gear makes for quality music makes for quality band mates and makes for quality fun:).
