ABOUT

Lead vocalist / bassist.
I am really hoping to find musicians or a band who get together once a week and improve. It has to be fun, but I am committed to working on getting the songs right!

All songs recorded here are originals recorded into the phone on the nights they were written. Hence they are very raw.

I am in a unique position. I have had 40 years of gigging experience as a bass player, but an accident 13 years ago has forced me to become a lefty. I know what it takes to work in music; I have become comfortable as a lefty and my skills are growing weekly.
Presently, I want to play along with any musicians who are ready to accept a player who understands what it takes and is working to get there. Note that I am not always in Canada and am often in Mexico for up to 2 months of the year. This restricts my commitment to full-time music.

UPDATE: Recently a hand surgery has fixed my right hand. I am now playing both left-handed and right handed. Lol. I have also aggressively studied vocals to become a lead vocalist.
