ABOUT

56 year old musician, primarily bass, recording and performing for over 40 years. Still have the passion for exciting gigs and challenging studio sessions. Looking for one off gigs or recurring rolls. Currently in a working band but slowing a bit for another members growing family. I do not read music, can follow tab, but my ear is my strongest asset and I learn material quickly. Also, I am very easy to get along with.
