NOTE: I will not be available for the remainder of 2023.
I’m retired and looking for folks who want to create some new music. I don’t have youthful delusions of grandeur, and am not into impressing anyone, even if I could. It’s about having fun creating material that tickles the brain. Mainly interested in collaborating to compose and record our own ideas. Occasionally reinventing cover tunes might be fun. Playing for an audience is not an immediate goal. Perhaps later. Haven’t spent much time learning a lot of songs, but I’m open to learning new ones. After a hiatus from playing, I’m working on regaining some chops, so I temporarily downgraded my lead and rhythm guitar skills to moderate. Over the years, I’ve primarily played guitar and bass with other musicians. I’ve also played sounds and patterns with various synths and soft-synths (PC and iPad) doing mostly improvisational stuff. I like playing with those who are more experienced, as well as less experienced than me. I’m available most days and nights. Please, no religious folks or MAGA devotees.

Influences
Like everyone, my influences are numerous. Mainly 60s and 70s. Generally, I’ve enjoyed playing rock, progressive, fusion, punk, ambient, electronic, and experimental genres. I’m generally oblivious to most new genres out there. I’m open to exploring and creating new music.
