SEEKING
Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums.ABOUT
I am primarily a singer (musically literate and classically trained tenor) who also plays harmonica, some keys, and writes songs looking to collaborate with another songwriter/arranger (preferably a guitarist) to record original songs and some covers for social media exposure. Once the new stuff is recorded, I'd like to begin performing live in select music venues.

Something I co-wrote in the 80's as an homage to Dirty Harry after suffering a serious mugging. Certainly not PC, but I like the tune
