Hey people! 1st off, all these songs are just me doing a quick thrown together jam. So they're just a semi-crude mini-sample of some of what I do. I recorded them on the built-in computer mic in about 30 minutes. My guitar was fretting out & wouldn't hold a note above the 17th fret (I've since got a pro set-up on it). Also the fan was on (it was about 90 in here) so it picked up lots of extra noise. Oh, I fingerpicked most of these tunes also. Anyway, try not to be too critical, at least until I get some better quality stuff on here lol.A little about me. I'm a vocalist/guitarist/keys who use to do the whole bar / festival band / solo / studio thing: everything from Rock / Top-40 / Country / Standards / Oldies / etc. Stepped outa that scene for the most part. Performed in many talent shows / contests. Now, jamming wherever there are cool people to be found.Keeping up with the latest musical trends is a challenge, especially when I'm currently only playing for kicks, haha. But I do my best. Every time I tell people about a "new" band or performer I'm into, they say it's old news, lame, weak, etc. .. oh well. Seems like we're getting more fickle all the time. Anyway, I still jam to most anything on the radio, haha.Guitar: from smooth jazz to chicken pickin' to metal with the flick of some switches (aren't electronics awesome!). But I can lay back and play a smooth or heavy rhythm.Vocally: Good range, smooth, love good harmonies .. don't venture into too much rough edge vocals... to tuff on the voice box, lol.Anyhow, nice to meet y'all.. let's jam sometime."Look up at the heavens Look down at your feet Look at your own life You might feel the heat"Bill Rich 6/1/2006
