I have recently retired at the age of 62. Finding myself with nothing to do, I am considering joining a band who needs a helping hand. Personally, I am beyond the age where I suffer from delusions of grandeur, my intentions are just to have fun and make some music with some other of like minds and like tastes. Presently, I am practicing more to bring myself up to a more professional level. I know lots of songs, but master of none. My preferred band setting would be a combo or trio playing the more softer side of music. If anybody plays a keyboard, another acoustic guitar, bass, drums- along with a female singer and male singer, I maybe your man. Personally. I do not think I am much of a singer; I would be content to play in the background and let the singers shine. I grew up in the 1960's and the 1970's, therefore, that's where my preferred taste lie where music is concerned. My absolute favorite band is The Beatles; all of the bands of the British Invasion of the 60's, I also, love. Motown, the pop of the 60's bring back fond memories. As for the music of the 70's, all the classic rock bands, the pop songs ( especially the early 70's) also, will evoke fond memories.
Lately, I have been concentrating on some Moody Blues songs such as:
Tueday Afternoon;
For My Lady;
Ride My Seesaw;
The Story in Your Eyes;
The Question.
Besides The Moody Blues, I have randomly learned ( and partially forgot) many songs in the past couple of months such as:
You Are the Sunshine of My Life;
For Once in My life;
My Girl;
Sad Eyes;
Highway Song;
Simple Man ( both Lynyrd Skynyrd and Lobo songs - and both different);
