ABOUT

I would really like to start or join a band. I have been playing piano for 32 years, and electric guitar for 11 years. On the guitar I can do rhythm and some lead playing. I like many genres of music but I would really like to play classic rock, heavy metal, industrial metal, etc. I have to admit I really love 80's hair metal too.
