SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I have been playing bass in bands on and off for 50 years. I also play electric guitar and do one man band sessions playing some standards plus my own numbers. I have some decent equipment and my playing and my good looks are not affected by my great age. I love Al Di Miola and Pat Methany style jazz but also like rock and blues. I also play my own compositions which are essentially Blues, Country, Jazz and Rock type songs using acoustic guitar and harmonica with a drum machine or with my synth guitar. My main focus has been playing in club bands with a few pub gigs. Would like to explore duo work with someone similar to myself or backing a lady singer. I have placed some instrumentals on my profile which are musical pieces I have composed and played all instruments on except drums. The classical piece includes my late wife Jane singing a Lloyd Webber piece but all the instruments were programmed by me.

Don't Cry For Me Argentina
Don't Cry For Me Argentina Track number: 8 Year: 2003 Album: David and Jane Fryer Genre: Classical
Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the words and music to this and the singer here is my late wife Jane. My part was to program all the instruments electronically and to mix the recording.
