Free lance is my middle name. A friend was leaving a band last week, April 30th, 2008. He offered to have me replace him. I received a call Sunday evening, April 28th, 2008, from the founder of the band asking me to start this week on Wed. night. Of course I accepted because the band, "T. J. and the U.S. Blues" band work each & every week as opposed to the sparratic gigs I had been playing with another band. The singer in that band was retiring anyway. The singer-guitarist & I have been friends since the very early '70's and have played together in 3 or more seperate bands. We have remained friends since we first met & jammed together. He writes great tunes & he is one of the best two male singers in the mid TN area. The other singer would be David Pennycuff out of southern Kentucky.
