ABOUT
Retired from 50+ years in dance bands. Play frequent daytime concerts in an acoustic duo.
Available for oldies/classic rock gigs, fill-in work or duo/trio acoustic-type work. Also have a home recording studio for solo and small group projects.
Mostly a long-time bass player but also play other instruments. I enjoy keeping involved with music as a retiree.
