SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I started as a tuba player, adding electric bass in 1969 and acoustic bass in 1971, playing all three in college. I've played in many bands throughout the years, ranging from a 20 piece big band to 3-4-5-9 piece rock bands. I have also played in country, jazz, and orchestral groups. I simply like to play, especially if there is a good, confident drummer in the band.

I would like to join a band or find players that want to play. I am retired, so available most of the time. I sing harmonies well, and have sung lead, but now would prefer to only do a few songs that way.

This was a jam with two friends - just coming back to playing after a few years not playing in a band. But a pretty good idea of my playing style.
