Background

I am originally from the Washington DC area and have been living in Houston for about 5 years. I'm 51 years old and have been playing bass since 13. I have played many different kinds of music over the years. I read music (bass clef mainly) and I palyed for several years in the University of Mayland Jazz Ensemble under Chris Vadala (Chuck Mangione's side man). My main instruments are a fretless 4 string bass and a fretted 6 string bass which I play through a David Eden amplifier. I love playing jazz, blues, folk, classic rock, reggae, rockabilly, roots rock, jam band etc... but especially JAZZ!

I live in the Clear Lake area and would really love to find some like minded folks to play music with. I am available to play gigs and join a band that needs a good bass player.
