I’M NOT INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH VOLUME-HEADS !!! I’ve been playing on and off for 50+ years and am rather a Jack-of-all-trades instrument-wise, like to play music properly but I’m certainly no virtuoso. I played and worked professionally in various roles within the music business for about 20 years. Could write a good book on how to come close but not get that much curveted “cigar”. My real passions were mainly directed towards vocal harmonies (the lower register and being part of unique sounding groups of vocalists) and composing melodic good quality hybrid songs using elements taken from many genres including: pop/country-rock/folk/americana/ and slightly jazz-tinged toons.
