SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a bass guitarist living in Bensalem PA 19020. I am retired from my career as a computer programmer, so I have plenty of time and energy for being in a band. My greatest passion is to play the oldies from the mid 1950s thu the mid 1970s, but I am also happy playing good music from any decade or genre. I am hoping to contribute my skills to a band that practices weekly and plays out at least once a month. NOTE: I DO NOT SING. I am fully COVID-19 vaccinated, and will continue to mask and social distance whenever possible.
