ABOUT
Just a music lover - whether it's country, blues, Americana, soul, (old style) R'n'B, singer-songwriters, bluegrass, Southern Rock, jazz, swing...Everything just so long as it's tasteful!
Quite fancy a little acoustic swing duet - gypsy jazz / 1920s jazz stuff, maybe some flat-picking and some fingerpicking. Maybe one day...
