SEEKING
Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Background Singer, Harmonica, Other.ABOUT
I am a retired studio musician from Capitol and MCA in Nashville, TN. Bass Guitar and acoustic guitar.
I am looking to find one more gifted acoustic guitar player and singer that can alternate between lead and harmonies.
I am a fun, creative man. People have never had any problems with my personality. I am easy going and easy to get along with.
No ego maniacs please. No "Stars."

Influences
In my personal music, I have been heavily influenced by Red Shea, Terry Clements (both played behind Gordon Lightfoot), Maury Muehleisen (played behind Jim Croce). Those are the pickers who had the greatest influence on me.
I am now doing music that I guess I would call soft rock, or easy listening. Examples: Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Gordon Lightfoot, Dan Fogelberg, Jim Croce, John Prine, all the way through Ed Sheeran, Lee Dewyze, and Chris Cornell just to name a few, but I think you get the idea.
