ABOUT
* I play the Electric Bass. It's kinda like an electric guitar... only, it's way cooler!
* You can contact me here: marcgaynor-at-geemail-dotcom
* I've been playing since the 1970s BDE (Before Disco Era).
* I’ve played in all possible venues... from backyards to stadiums.
* I've also played most American genres, except Glam-Rock and Zydeco... oh yeah, and acapella, I don't do acapella (not that there's anything wrong with acapella. I just don't seem to fit in... I'm a Bass Player).
* I've always preferred the stage over the studio.
* Groove Oriented performer.
* Mellow, flexible, grounded personality.
* I've got Pro gear for any venue / upward and downward scalable.
* I've got a full time day job now... just looking to gig evenings/nights/weekends (with a professional sounding band).
* Would love to collaborate on a Steely Dan, or Jamiroquai, tribute band.
* Located in Georgetown, NW DC. and West Side of Manhattan, and the West Coast of Florida.
* I’m not really 99 years old, but someday I hope to be.
