SEEKING

ABOUT

semi retired (work from home for now). Started playing keyboards at gigs in high school & college. Mostly played organ only in classic 60s & 70s rock group. Played 2 or 3 gigs a week around 4 state area. The original group gets together twice a year to play & record. Studio and live but the profile won't let you check both. Would enjoy playing much more than that in local group or jam just for fun around Springfield MO. Jamming once a week or so would be great or work on live shows as well.
Check out a couple of the covers in attached music. We have two more sessions setup for 2023 as well as next year too for more covers plus our own originals. Hoping to jam and/or play gigs if possible in between the old group's reunions.

Influences

Multiple 60s, 70s & 80s groups for classic rock. Selections that folks can dance to. Enjoy R&B, older rock plus there is some great southern rock and country too. Too many to list here but you would know all the groups & individuals anyway. Oh, my two favorites would be Jon Lord - Deep Purple and Lachey Doley plus Felix from the Rascals. The Who, the Eagles. Just too many great groups to list. Ray Manzerak with the Doors; he played keyboards and bass.

Keyboard:

Moderate

EQUIPMENT

Several keyboards and amps/speakers. Basicly, a combination that would work for most any type or size gig from vintage models to recent gear (both dual manual & single). All equipment is in good working condition and I have transportation to get it where we need to be. Given enough time, most of us collect stuff.
