SEEKING
Lead Guitar, Violin, Keyboard, Piano, Banjo, Fiddle, Vocalist - Alto, Accordion, Ukulele.ABOUT
Main instruments are elec bass, tuba, fingerstyle guitar and various Latin percussion. Bongos, guierro, clave, maracas, etc. Im very much an ear and feel player and a minimalist. I prefer jazz charts to reading notes.
Last year i visited Havana Cuba, and my whole musical orientation changed! Now i'm crazy about latin music! Especially Son Cubano and Salsa, which i've been getting my musical brain around...
I have been one of the regular bass players for years at the Monday night Jam at Capitol Cider. Also lots of percussion there. I learned bass in a black gospel church choir back in the '80's.
I really like "music of the people" And not about hatred. Music that uplifts people....Motown, blues, Country, Mexican, (tuba) Latin, standards, whatever. I took up tuba a few years back and now play that lots. But electric bass would be my main gig.
On tuba, it would be fun to find a girl who plays Ukulele or accordion and sings, preferably while hoola-hooping!
