ABOUT

Looking to join a band - or start one - with experienced players to do occasional local gigs.
Played in various good semi-pro bands in Toronto since the 60s until recently when I moved to the Wasaga Beach/Collingwood area. Did some recording and mixing too.
I'm in my early 70s but not stuck in the past, and I enjoy variety - pop, rock, alternative, funk, dance, Latin, island, world, folk, country, southern rock, tex-mex, europop, and whatever.
Have a solid beat, and like to play to what the song needs. Can do backup vocals.
Let's get together to challenge ourselves a bit, have some fun, try some new things including originals, and rework some old stuff too.
Currently playing with an excellent country band and a singer/songwriter, and jamming with some friends, but I have time available for more, and enjoy keeping busy.
The samples here are from various groups I played with and some studio demos. "Raise Your Glasses" is me on drums, lead vocal, my lyrics.
