ABOUT
Like most, I played as a kid from 16 thru 19 in a local band, and then life happened. Picked up the sticks again about 25 years ago and took some lessons to learn and read music notation. I play by ear and am a SOLID timekeeper.
No fancy chops here, I'm not a technician. I play for the song, not for the showmanship. I'm always looking for new opportunities to better my playing and up my game with better musicians. My interests are R&B, Blues. Huge Motown fan.
Love to book studio time at Fenix or Mode on S.I. and jamb out for two or three hours every couple of weeks with like-minded players
NO ROCK / CLASSIC ROCK PLEASE! My preference is Blues, R&B, Mowtown, etc. If you're wondering, I'll be 73 years young in November 2023.
Regards,
Bob.
