ABOUT
Started elec. guitar as a teen (~1975) - been playing since w/ a few breaks, some longer than others. Just want to jam if the situation is right.
Nothing really since COVID - previously played with Mars Rodeo from mid 2016 to March 2020 (COVID). Haven't playing out since COVID. My time with Mars Rodeo '16-'20 included over 100 gigs and a few with crowds over 1000 people (Del Ray Halloween Parade 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, FFC 4 July show 2019).
