Yes...I'll play anywhere...
Of course I like it...I wouldn't do it otherwise...
Old time country, blues and early jazz primarily, but love be bop, classical, 607 and 70s pop, punk...though you wont hear too much of some of these in my music.
1952 style Telecaster, kick drum and foot snare.
I couldn't eat another bite...!
