I am a full-fledged, passionate musician with more chops than I know what to do with. I like playing Rock, Funk and R%B, and some Jazz stuff too. I have been playing electric and acoustic guitar for 14 years, and bass for almost as long. I have been singing rock and some R&B stuff for six years now, I'm no Marvin Gaye but I can hold a tune. I have a really great ear, and can learn songs by ear in minutes. Don't be fooled by my age, I can hang.

Worth it
Worth it Track number: 14 Year: 2009 Album: The Great Spectacle Genre: Alternative
I played electric guitars and bass on this song. It is available on Mike Post and the Band Before Time's album The Great Spectacle, which is available as a free download on www.mikepostmusic.com I highly recommend listening to it all the way through, as it doesn't really pick up until the end.
