I’ve been playing guitar for 34 years, but for the last 12 years, since having kids, it’s been sporadic at best. I’m primarily interested in just finding some people I can chill with on occasion, jam/play some music (and drink a few beers in the process) and have fun, nothing serious. Probably it’s just simpler to say I’m interested in playing rock music, but I’m game for whatever. I don’t really have any musical goals or aspirations, and don’t even necessarily want to accomplish anything except goofing off with an instrument in my hand while making some interesting sounds, if some of those sounds end up being interesting enough to record then I’m down for that.

Here are some examples of bands/musicians I like:
- Rock (the usual suspects, e.g. Hendrix & Zeppelin. I also LOVE Grateful Dead; and Phish to a lesser degree, but if you do dig Phish a lot I’d love to jam some Foam together)
-“Indie” (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake, and pretty much any Chicago scene post-rock)
-Hip-hop (MF Doom, Madlib, Seven Star, Digable Planets, Gravediggaz, Wu-Tang)
-Country (Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed)
-Metal (mostly genre-bending instrumental bands like CHON, Polyphia, Strawberry Girls, COVET, Plini, but I also dig Sabbath, Metallica, Megadeth, for example)
-folk (Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Buffy Sainte-Marie)
-jazz (I’m HUGE into jazz, MIles, Trane, Bird, Monk, to name a few of the biggies)
