ABOUT

I'm a 68 year old male keyboarder, and have been a musician nearly all my life. I grew up on "old" country and 60's and 70's rock and roll - Doors, Steppenwolf, Cream, etc. I am increasingly playing 40s/50s/60s lounge music and doing the vocals myself. You can also check out my music here or on Bandmix or - look for Smoother With Age. I will continue to pursue lounge style music - I'm looking for a vocalist who can also keyboard in that pursuit.
I can be reached at rayvanwagnerrocketmail.

Thank you.
Ray
