I'm 60+. I played/sang professionally from the late 60's through the 70s and into the early 80s. I gave it up for a while (raised some kids, worked a day job). After retirement, I picked up my axe again and started playing. I discovered I'd lost my voice, so I started playing more lead.
I'm looking for like-minded fellow musicians that would like to put a weekend type act together, duo, trio or what have you. I'm not too particular about genre'. Country, rock, blues, jazz, it's all just music to me. I really like backing female jazz/pop/country vocalists. I'm most comfortable as a side man. I don't care for too much spotlight. I just like to play and have a little fun and maybe make a few bucks.
