I've been playing piano since I was 4. I did my grade 8 w/ The Royal Conservatory of Music; Toronto. Classically trained pianist, self-taught jazz. Began guitar at 11. Drums at 14. Guess my age. ;) Wrong again! 43. I grew up in Newfoundland, and moved to the states in my early 20's. Looking to meet some new, good musicians to jam with. Played a lot of gigs both solo and with a jam band in Seattle called, "Front Row Seats" (featuring Mike Seltzer; standing current bassist for Steppenwolf). I've got a myriad of untapped original pieces that are open for contribution. Just want to meet the right people.
