SEEKING

ABOUT

Retired, older dude looking to get back into the game. I'm very dependable, responsible and dedicated. I'm also a graduate student at Austin Peay State University. Looking to play local area venues and have a good time. Giving the joy of music to senior citizens in the area is a passion of mine. I'm not looking for the bar life (non-drinker), but I won't rule out playing in bars. Married w/3 children (a boy and 2 girls) and 5 grand children. So family time is very important to me. As stated above I also love to play traditional gospel and bluegrass/bluegrass gospel music. I enjoy being out on the road for a relaxing ride on my bike. I also own and show Arabian/Half-Arabian western pleasure horses. At my wife's insistence I cut my long hair, but who knows how much longer the short hair look will remain. I HAVE A SONG ON (LOU GANN) THAT I WAS THE CO-WRITER ON CALLED "WHERE WILL YOU BE". The sound quality is terrible because it was recorded w/a phone, so headphones would be greatly beneficial. It was recorded at a jam session in Centerville, TN.
