I am 59 and started playing trombone when I was 10 in elem. school. In my hometown, I am known as the "boneman". I also play guitar, keys, drums and sing and have held down various live band excursions in my career. I want to thank all my friends and relatives who have supported me thru out and I hope in some way I have given back that meaningfulness to some extent to all.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I was the music director at the old Redings Mill Inn for 5 years and we had a lot of fun out there thanks to Sonny and Rosalia. Have played in various bands thru out the years. Steve Miller our drummer has passed. Kerry Edwards the bass player I haven't heard from for a while.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Have been playing with Denny and the Cruisers at Stockton Lake, Mo. Also, like hitting the jams around Joplin, Mo. Denny has passed. I sure do thank him for adding me into his mix, was a lot of fun for sure.
Your musical influences
Loved Allan Parsons Project, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Don Williams, Merle Haggard, all kinds of music, I just think 'a good song is a good song.'
What equipment do you use?
I use an old poly 800 synth, a boss dr5 a digitech vr for vocal backing an Art fxr, fender and ovation guitars, olds and yamaha and king trombones, Focusrite saffire pro 24 dsp and sennheiser hd280 pro headphones and md 421 mike and Akg mikes and roland mp500 keys, rogers drums preCBS.
Anything else?
I am looking forward to expressing on this site and hope it to be fun. All music played and produced by Greg Wilkins.
