I play guitar and sing. I have a Gibson J-160e, a Rickenbacker 355 and a Limited Edition Epiphone Casino.
As you might guess from that, I used to play in a Beatles tribute band. I started the Beatlemaniacs of the Villages down here, which is a club for Beatles fans and musicians.
I would love to get a little band together to gig around the area.
By the way, I also play drums. I began playing drums when I was nine years old and played in a professional band for about ten years. Then I quit to raise a family. I still have a set os 1966 Ludwigs, but they are up north. Hopefully, my son will send them to me soon.
Outside if the Beatles stuff, I did a little acoustic solo act in the Philippines playing a mix of classic rock, country and a few more current things thrown in.
Oh....I've also falle in love with the ukulele.
We have a lot of great music clubs here in the Villages and a lot of outstanding musicians. I'm sure you will find plenty of people to play with.
