An old git with too much time on my hands but not the self discipline to use it to practice consistently. I learnt cornet/flugelhorn all those years back in a brass band. Before going to see the world, including a fair bit of time in the middle and far east. Been back playing about six years and am about grade 7 if this helps. Reasonable sight reader but the hardest part is trying to improvise and remember chords scales.
Trying Bandmix as I would be interested initially in getting together with maybe a guitarist or possibly Arabic musicians be it string wind or percussion and see what happens.
