How long have you been playing?
I first played guitar in 1976 for our high school rock band. Since then I've been in 4 bands and have recorded mainly original music, using various instruments and styles. The tracks here date from 1978 through to now. I hope you enjoy them and thanks for listening.
My new Casio keyboard. Is it possible to record great sounds from a $77 keyboard? Will try.
