SEEKING
Drums.ABOUT
Would love to get deep and develop musical relationships. Lots of ideas/ original music in the realm of reggae and funk/soul primarily. Would be cool to find folks to harmonize some old reggae type sh*t. Love Bossa Nova as well, sing a couple songs in Portuguese. Can follow sheet w chord changes on bass, but sight reading basically non existent. Bass player mainly, also sing, play bit of guitar and everything, really. Spirit music: without feeling it I’m simply not playing it. So you looking to record your music or gig right away, keep looking. No heavy/designer drugs please-Herbs n funghi all good though. I keep it respectful and positive vibes and tend to play at highest level when those vibes are intact and I’m out if not, so know that. Primarily music is freedom and love for me so bring that to the table and expansiveness is all that’s left. Usually vibe w way younger folk but only because most folk may age lost the zest and I sometimes feel like I’m 14 going on 50. I teach yoga and do bodywork (Rolfing) as well.
