SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I'm just a guy who wants to play bass. I'm not a guitar player who plays bass because he has to. I "want" to. Been playing for about 40 years. I'm a little gray, a little balding and a little ugly but I can play, I can sing, and still look good on stage.
Years of experience on the road in North America and in Europe. Played on hundreds and hundreds of stages big and small. My last band toured a TON. Sadly that's now wrapped up after a couple of decades.
Looking for a new fun situation! I learn quickly and have a creative style. I have a job that affords me the freedom for touring, am available for studio and one off gigs as well. Give me a shout!

House By The Sea - ?
House By The Sea - ? Year: 2004 Album: Unknown Demo Genre: Lounge
I don't even remember who this singer/songwriter is. He invited myself and a drummer friend of mine over to his house. (Where he had a stunning home studio.) We jammed for a while on this tune and some others and then we left. A couple of weeks later he sent me this MP3 demo. We didn't even realize he was recording. I don't know about the song but I've always liked the bass line that I came up with that day.
