ABOUT

Somewhat shy performer to be honest so I tend to take background roles. It's about the music. Band/duo experience before career and uncooperative "others". Started seriously ~50 yrs ago in my teens.
Strong rhythm, ok lead but no flash (by design), some bass, banjo and handled other roles. Love to sing (upper baritone-low tenor-falsetto) though past my prime perhaps.
Priority is have fun willing to take it wherever if it clicks. Recording/live both good - covers,originals.
