I've played music all my life. I'm a drummer (heavier styles, big kit) and can play some acoustic guitar and tenor sax, a little piano (and read scored music) and also sing. I've played in rock, pop, country, and jazz bands plus 2 swing orchestras. My last work was with a rock trio doing originals out of Chapel Hill, NC around 2006. Since then my kit has done mostly practice duty, but I've started missing the live scene again.
