Been playing for 30+ years with a twenty year break and trying to learn to read better. Play mostly organic freestyle. Just bought my new acoustic bass and amp. Trying to learn that so I can lay down some interesting tracks.
We have a lot of fun open mics, jams, house concerts, events, festivals, free public concerts and club activities here in Orlando and around Florida. Hope to see you there.
