I'd like to bring back the good old days when people got together and jammed for fun. Why Ego trip when you can have fun! Also, I like it when everybody gets a chance to shine. I play lead and/or rhythm guitar and sing all kinds of Classic and Folk rock stuff and some blues. I also enjoy playing the bass with just about anything I can think of including standards from the 30's and 40's. Bass is FUN. I write and record originals and am interested in collaborating with others. email me at wjc1947outlook

Influences
Everything winds up influencing me one way or another. As a kid I used to sing along with a big block Chrysler engine. BUT in particular, classic and folk rock from Clapton, Hendrix, to Beatles, Stones, CSN&Y, Seals and Croft, etc. I'm open to any kind of music as long as it's good and close to being in tune.
