Guitarist / singer / songwriter (with a great love of percussion, winds, & electronics) looking for like-minded musicians. I have a wide variety of influences- all kinds of music from all over the world. Genres were made to be bent. Ideal project would walk the line between tight, polished songcraft and spontaneous improvs. I'm not a snob about playing covers- either faithfully or rearranged. Contact: leningradcowboy@yahoo
