Vocalist + self-taught guitar. My guitar playing is basic, my voice is good. I used to busk in the Mall (me + 2 others), had a gig at Stamps Café and The Royal Oak Hotel in the 80s - passage of time - reconnecting to my musical life. I'd like to jam with you and possibly form a duo, trio or more with a folk rock/classic rock/blues/soul outlook and a view to potential gigging
Comfortable with 60s 70s 80s and beyond - not a fan of being locked into a particular decade, depends on the genre. Not a fan of only ever singing someone else's songs either
Currently doing some vocal training with a professional musician/vocalist
Would love to rearrange some covers - The Mamas and Papas arrangement of Twist & Shout is a great example:

If I was granted one musical wish it would be to sing like Eva Cassidy
