Hello, All!
Been playing bass off and on for about 7 years. My background is actually more from acoustic playing. I play guitar, mandolin, fiddle, etc. Have played bluegrass, Old Time (Appalachin, etc), Irish Traditional, Swedish Traditional. I have been gigging with a folk rock group that plays classic rock, folk, bluegrass, etc.
Lately I have been playing electric guitar and bass in jam session type settings. Looking to improve skills and move into gigging. Also, nearing retirement when I will have a lot more time for this.
Thanks for reading, looking forward to discussions with you all!

Retirement - there is a need for entertainment in the middle of the afternoon. We've been playing retirement and nursing homes, birthdays, fairs, street dances, etc. in our area for 15 years - there is all kinds of gigging going on in the afternoon. And then there is Church on Wednesday and Sunday and you mentioned Bluegrass - we have jamming on the square each Saturday from 10:00 AM till ____ . Next town up has Bluegrass/whatever once a month 6:00 PM till ____.

When I retired I thought I'd go crazy with nothing to do, not the case. You'll have plenty to keep you busy. Welcome.

Sounds like plenty of music going on in your neck of the woods! I've enjoyed East Texas whenever I've been through there.
