Just looking for expand my skills with other musicians. Live gigs would be great, but I haven’t played music live since high school orchestra, which was a long time ago.
I work at LANL, which means I live the opposite of a rock ‘n roll lifestyle…but, I show up on time!

Influences
Lately—blues, 70’s funk, and jazz (lots of Wes and Grant Green…don’t ask me to play their stuff, which is way beyond me).
College Years —alternative (missed seeing Nirvana touring Bleach by a week…fml), then got into DJ/electronica for a long time…seeing Carl Cox will forever be a hazy, if amazing, memory.
High School —Rush, Zeppelin, U2, general classic rock, steady diet of early MTV with the original VJ’s.
Elementary school—I begged my grandmother to buy me an ELO record…which wound up being my first LP.

EQUIPMENT
A guitar (Ibanez AS-153 semi-hollow and my neighbor’s borrowed Mexican Strat) a bass (early 80’s Rick 4001), an amp (my neighbor’s Marshall TSL…he’s generous with loaning gear, my 5W Blackstar practice amp), some pedals (vol, wah, chorus, delay, fuzz, drive, comp, looper, others tbd).
