Im 36 yet look 26 - how, after living the life i have - i dont know (all good now ;)). Very unique back story...i can play and sing to high levels - i can do both the vocals and lead for songs such as maggie may and red house, comfortably numb, babe im gonna leave you, and sweet childomine to high degree of proficiency re all these songs...however, ive only recently found my voice after choaching and am green as far as public performances go...yet always learning and practicing...on me/why music - in Gaol and rehab (10 yrs ago - never hurt a soul) i found music and it saved my life. My life, which -after being on the streets from the age of thirteen - was assumed by all who knew and observed me, would be very short. Since made it into Uni with no highschooling- not crim/bogan and dont look or dress like one :p. Seeking a band or some guys intetested in forming one who love blues and rock and feel, like me, somewhat as strangers in a strange land as far as contemporary music goes. However im all for using my influences to make original material in and for the current scene. If your young and think my age may count against or rule me out please see ppl like Springstien, debrah harry, cheryl crow and Jay Z....

I can also alternatively pick at very high speed - full scales in under a second if thats ever called for - ive sought guitar mentors recently to reach higher level but after the third told me he had nothing but theory to teach me, i stalled....have a better list of ppl and am hopeful ill have a coach to help sharpen up any rough edges that may remain in my playing...
