SEEKING

ABOUT

I’m a baby boomer, my kids are grown, and I have plenty of time to play music. My focus is acoustic guitar although I do play electric. I’m into all kinds of acoustic music, including finger, picking and rhythm - just starting to get better at flatpicking. I just recorded a few songs on my iPhone that you can listen to to get a sample of my level of expertise. I am looking for folks to play with. I can sing a little bit, but definitely not lead. I’m generally available to play most weekends and some evenings.
