Favorite Genres

I enjoy listening to instrumentals. I like everything except experimental jazz. I appreciate the artistry of it all. Except this new pop stuff.

Gigs and Ensembles

Many different bands over a long period of time playing in and around east central Louisiana. A little studio work for some gospel groups and several groups doing original stuff mostly southern rock styles. Hired gun work.

Previously Owned Gear

The only thing I regret losing was a 65 Fender bass 5. It’s a long story.

G.A.S. List

A Jerzy Drozd 5 string. Most beautiful instuments made by human hands. I’ve only seen them in pictures. Don’t know how they play but they’re gorgeous.
