I'm 48 years old and have been playing bass guitar since the 5th grade. My bass coach was Geddy Lee and I was off and running. I have been giggin since high school and have played I'm original, all types of rock, and county. I can sing both lead and background, but prefer to split lead duties but will back on all songs. I have also played acoustical six string sets as a duet with Phil Flowers in Dallas and Las Vegas as well. I have played in full-time bands starting in Miineapolis, DFW, and off-strip in Las Vegas. My last p/t band in Dallas was Shades of Grey featuring Jeff Grey. Most recently in Vegas playing rhythm with Slow Children At Play. I have a natural ear and don't even need a tuner to hear 440 MHz (A). I have been off stage for a few years now but am ready to play. I play my Fender acoustic and sing daily to keep my chops up. Harmonies are my specialty as well as some lead.
