SEEKING

Band to Join, Bass Guitar.

ABOUT

I'm new to this area. i'm 66 and have been playing guitar all my life. Lived on the west coast for about 20 years where I toured with Laura Nyro, Kim Carnes, John Mayall and others. Did session work at Capitol Records. I was the lead guitarist for their Songwriters Workshop I'm looking to start up something with some local musicians. I've auditioned for about four bands in the last month, but i'm looking for something a little bit tighter and more professional. I would expect anybody that I play with to work just as hard as me.

EQUIPMENT

I had a new Paul Reed Smith private stock made for me in 2012. Sold my Strat. Have all my own equipment. I doubt if there is any special guitar effect I don't have. I've played through nothing but Mesa amps for the last thirty years. When players that play through Marshalls dream. They dream that they're playing through a Mesa Boogie.
