ABOUT

I'm a serious guitarist, started out at age 10 and played classical guitar for several years. Bought a '68 Strat at a garage sale while in high school and have been into everything that was on FM radio all through the 70's - now. Still love blues, classic rock and new wave the best.

My wife and I like to host jam sessions in our living room and we love playing everything from classic rock (for example Tom Petty) to new wave (like Billy Idol or Blondie) punk (think Ramones). Our bassist moved away and we're having trouble tracking down a replacement.

We're informal and fun loving. No egos, drugs or drama please.

EQUIPMENT

I own by last count 16 guitars, five of them Strats. Have a variety of tube amps but prefer Fender Blues Junior and Marshall DL40C. I have a gig-worthy pedal board suitable for any cover. We have a PA, a bass with a good amp and a full drum set in our living room, ready to jam!
