Early 60's, easy going, drama free bass player looking to start/join a band with like minded individuals. Have played mostly in 3 piece and 4 piece bands and willing to put the work into learning new music. Can add backing harmonies if the bass lines aren't too demanding. I miss the camaraderie of playing in a band and am happy with just getting together and playing for fun or getting out and gigging if that's where the journey goes. Not really interested in lots of gigging...too much work with not enough compensation, but once a month is OK.

Influences
I enjoy lots of different music, but am not into pop or country, although the two have seemed to come together rather poorly. That said, I'm flexible and can play some genres I don't enjoy...I just don't want to make a night of it.
Some of the bands whose music I have played:
Pink Floyd
Max Webster
Matt Schofield
Thin Lizzy
Pat Travers
Robin Trower
Stevie Ray Vaughn
ZZ Top
Government Mule
Joe Bonnamassa
Tom Petty
Black Crowes
Stone Temple Pilots
The Hip
Blue Rodeo
Lots of other stuff, but too much to list. I put the time into learning a song on my own time so we're not wasting rehearsal time.
