ABOUT

Im a 60+yrs guy - moderate level electric bass player, looking to play with great players and like-minded, easy-going musicians with a view to forming / joining a band to play regularly. Preference for writing/performing original music. I'm laid back, but committed, and just wanting to "groove out" with ppl as a starting point, get the "feel" and see if the fit is right. I don't sight read music but can read charts/chords - I mostly play by ear/feel
