I am a veteran player. I am available to fill in and or join a working group. I learn my material, show up on time, sober, and ready to entertain and mix with the crowd. I like original material if a band is working on more than some strict concept with some guy who doesnt know percussion pulling the strings. It takes some ego to be a performing musician but anal retentive types need not call. Metalists of a modern nature need not even ask. Music has to have feeling and more than one rythym in order for me to get interested. No screamers, no negative bitchy music with a grudge in the message.
