ABOUT
Re-entering live music and dipping my toe in the pool.
I'd like to be contacted by a female/pop vocalist (ages 23 to 70, I won't discriminate) to harmonize/collaborate, as in a few of the first few songs that I've posted (all original, not interested in doing covers). If you play an instrument, all the better. My Background: In my well-spent youth I toured with a couple of groups. Springsteen wanted me to be his bass player way back when but I knew I wasn't as good as he thought I was, and I didn't want to be around drugs (still don't). It's a funny story. Anyway, after touring with others, I performed solo in NYC for several years, was offered a couple of record contracts, didn't happen for various reasons. I could have been a has-been about 7 different times. LOL I was in the music and recording industry for over 25 years on the biz end as a producer and a manager and now represent actors for film and TV. I have now relocated from NYC to Cary, it's been a long time since I've played and performed but I have a great catalogue of original songs I'd like to start playing again. I'm kind of a lesser-talented Billy Joel and when I sing, every note is an adventure so I wouldn't mind other people singing as well, or harmonizing with me. You don't have to be fully gung-ho. Let's see how it goes. I have a big house and a dedicated music room with a baby grand an electronic keyboard, an acoustic guitar, a double-neck electric, and I'm thinking of getting an amp and a mic (I used to have much more equipment). There ya go.
