Well..started playing guitar in 1966, sold all my equipment in 1978. What a shame
My first band was called Southside 6: British and Ameican Blues 67-68. I played guitar in 2 or 3 3 pc. bands in 69-71, played bass in a 9 pc. disco band 74-76 and ended my playing as a full time musician (bass) in a cover prog/rock and some original stuff band from 76-78. Do I consider myself a "musician"? Though I could play fairly well, at the time, the fact that I quit, makes me more of a "wanted to be". All I can do now is riff around the neck. I never was good at remembering songs, once they dropped my playlist, I forgot 'em.
What do I like musically? Actually.........about anything, but rap. I was heavy into "hard rock" in the late 60's early 70's. Was VERY much into import progressive and jazz/rock fusion until about 85, then the music disappeared. From 95-2000 I was HEAVY into Country. Then got hung up on 60's-70's Oldies...........00-04, where I rediscovered rock in Dream Theater, Threshold, Symphony X and then along came the moon, Aural Moon was my revival into feeling the music again, just like the good ol' days!!
