I record for my own entertainment and enjoyment. I played bass guitar professionally for 12 years and have taken up guitar in the last few with a focus on jazz.Band/artist history
Well, I started playing guitar in the 8th grade. By high school I was playing live gigs and filled in for a bass player with another band and fell in love with playing bass. Played bass professionally from 1970 through 1982 when I decided I needed a different line of work to pay the rent, get married, and raise a family. I now work in the computer software industry and recording at home.Have you performed in front of an audience?Not any more. I spent a number of years in smokey bars and just don't want to go back there.
