Been playing in cover bands in Rochester since 1973. Currently working with the local band Blue Sky. Been playing with Blue Sky since 2013. Recently hooked up with the local band Peg Leg Ida. PLI is currently woodshedding the set list and looking forward to getting out as soon as this Covid storm passes. Always interested in meeting new musicians / expanding my local contacts / network. . Enjoy subbing / sitting in with bands who might need a bass player at the last minute. Have done some studio work over the years, but most of my experience is in cover bands. Not actively looking for a band..but hey...you never know when something might click.
