Battle-hardened rock bass player with half a century of experience.
Toured in Europe with a Krautrock Band and played in a Stones cover band in the 70s.
Opened for Jethro Tull on a few dates in Germany during their Storm Watch Tour.
Played with Highway Drifter in East Tennessee during 2018 and 2019.
Currently playing with a guitarist in the Northshore area of Chattanooga and looking to expand the lineup with a drummer, a vocalist (male or female), a keyboard/guitar player and a flautist (sax/flute) or to join an existing band.

I have completed a classical music curriculum in Europe and
fluently read & write notation, tablature and charts.
I supported myself thru college as a music educator teaching classical guitar, E-bass and General Musicianship (music theory, scales & modes, composing & arranging).
I transcribe and arrange classical music (mostly Johann Sebastian Bach) for modern instruments (2-3 electric guitars + 6-string bass) and work on creating an interactive 6-string bass training & practicing course based on 500+ classic rock songs (trying to expand that to 600).
I have a repertoire of hundreds of rock songs that I have either completely memorized or play along by sightreading. Below is just a small alphabetical sampling of songs that I play on a regular basis just for my personal enjoyment.
