SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
An accomplished bass guitarist and rhythm guitarist playing since I was 14 years old. I started with my brothers in the 1960s playing surf instrumentals; bands we emulated were Dick Dale and the Deltones and The Ventures. My brothers moved on to college and the music scene changed with the British invasion. The best band I played with in my youth was in the Inland Empire named the Good Feelins. We had a regional hit "I'm Captured" that made it to Bandstand. The song generated tons of gigs and was one of the best times in my life. I've stayed active throughout my life playing acoustic guitar and bass and contemporary Christian music on worship teams and jamming with my two bothers when we get together. I'd love to bring my 1961 Fender P Bass, 60 year old vintage Guild 12 String, and my Fender Stratocaster to life playing with a band, enjoying the commrodary with band members and having the kind of fun I did in my younger days.
