invited to sit in. way too many keggers and other private/public parties that always had a jam session somewhere, LOL Many photos, recordings & clippings were destroyed in a house fire, some still in boxes being dragged all over hell and creation, LOL. The rest, well, it comes and it goes.

ok...how about this approach...
I like everything except Thrash, Death Metal and Obscene Rap. I like dance music, ...but Techno, not my thing. Gives me a headache. Screws with my bio-rhythms man.
Sounds Like: What ya looking for? I sound like me, but can imitate some others pretty damn close. Sometimes, ok, most times in a cover band, the crowd wants to hear it the way they know it. I have worked with some really awesome guitarists, bassists, drummers, etc...but I also like remakes of tunes too, Love Cake's version of I Will Survive, and Gwen's remake of It's My Life. I got nothing against originals, all the stuff I love was original at one time or another. I hear music in my head all the time, but my only true instrument of expression is my voice. I sound like me.
