I was always into music as far as I can remember... My father sang tangos exactly like Gardel, and was a big influence. I got my first 6 string in the summer of '69 (sound familiar?). Made my first $20 with a Reggae band, but I had been playing everything from A to Yes... I prefer old school Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Country... Bass is my main instrument, but I can swing a Tele pretty good...I have been doing fill ins lately, but I want to commit to a band in South Miami... I have plenty of gear... PA, Lights, several bass and guitar amps... 3 basses, 4 acoustics 2 Teles, a Cuatro PR and an accordion from the '50s...
