I am mostly a progressive rock bass player, although I have been in various bands over the last 40 years which include R&B, rock, new wave, country, pop, rock etc. The last few years I've spent recreating music from an original progressive rock band - which I just got the artwork back for the vinyl.. I sing although I don't consider myself a lead singer. I can play keyboards with one finger (smile) and midi correction. Most of the tunes below are from over the last 40 years or so etc - and "Entice Me" which was an early R&B band I was in about 35 years ago
Added a tune I wrote and played for a friend's wedding "Getting Married" that was recorded on my 8trk cassette around 1993. I was poor at the time and since music is priceless (big smile), well, it's what he got. (smile)
I am looking for either like minded musicians or a band that at least plans on playing out now and then or even every weekend. I haven't been playing top 40 or anything else at the moment. Just recording and writing mostly.
Thanks for listening!

Boy In Your Life - originally for Hologram - this one played by me 1985-ish
8trk Tascam 688 Midistudio. Didn't remember recording this! I believe Jeff DeYoung and Rob Nunn are doing background vocals. The tape is over 30-35 years old. There were only vocals and guitars on it. I synced the keyboards/bass and drums and fixed some bad notes etc. Was going to make a better version but hey, it's an 80's tune! Just leave it alone is sometimes the best policy (smile)
