ABOUT

I've been playing guitar for over 35 years. I play music from the 50's up to current songs. I've played mostly rhythm guitar in past bands but I know some leads too. I play bass and sing also. If you want to hear what my voice sounds like click "Dead Flowers" at the bottom of this page. That's me singing lead. I'm into lots of different styles and genres of music including rock, classic rock, power pop, blues, country, southern rock, soul, R & B, punk, folk, and alternative. Check out my videos to see some of what I've played in the past. I'm looking to get into an already formed band, form a band, or even do an acoustic duo. I have a day job so there's no financial urgency but I would like to work on a setlist and make some money playing out eventually like I have in past bands. I can be reached here or at Mikestratocaster15 at g mail dot com.
