I've been a classical pianist for over 30 years, but first cut my musical teeth on the mandolin. Have since played nearly every kind of stringed instrument I can get my hands on. Enjoy music that has a novelty edge to it (Cheap Suit Serenaders - Captain Beefheart). Have played in bluegrass, celtic, blues, novelty and surf-rock bands. Looking for musically like-minded individuals.
