ABOUT

Retired Ol’Timer here, would be great to find player(s) to jam with once or twice a week. Preferably an older lead guitar. Or, whatever works.

Been out of the group loop for the past 5 or 6 years. But still practice on my own almost daily.
I sing lead & backup.
The instruments I presume myself to be somewhat qualified with, are bass gtr + rhythm gtr. I also play harmonicas (fills & back-ground).

During my early years, music was a brief 11year profession. Then, during later years, weekend giggings. My preferred genre would be folksy/bluezy/easy rock or anything we can produce that sounds good.

My move to High Springs, just before Covid, definitely brought me to a standstill with other players.
Within the next week or so (& energy level permits). I will make an attempt to load some music on Bandmix. But until then.
upon request, I can send recent audio/videos via email or text for the asking.

I do not always answer my phone to unknown out of area numbers. So, I look forward to a voice or text message.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment wise. . . . A number of guitars, keyboards, PA, vocal Harmonizer, Tama drum Kit, congas + bongos (to bang around on), several bass guitars & amps. I do not play drums, but having a kit in the room, does make it a lot easier for players not to have to schlep the big stuff around for get-togethers.
