Hi! My name is Michael.

 

I play guitar, bass guitar and I sing. I started playing in 1966 and haven't stopped, despite a 30 year career as a schoolteacher.

I occasionally play bass in a covers band called Mark Absent and the Registers (now you know how we got together!) There are some clips on YouTube. It's always good fun.

I have been writing songs since I was 17. I sometimes collaborate, writing music for lyrics or lyrics for music.

When I retired I bought an iMac and started recording and now have a small home studio. There are a couple of songs on Spotify.

I used to run a successful Blues club in the UK where I am from and have tried my hand at promoting various events over the years. I think I gave quite a few bands and performers an opportunity to play.

I am beyond musical ambitions now. My ambition usually going no further than the next song.

I still teach as a volunteer, working with refugees, asylum seekers and others wanting to improve their English.

On most Friday nights I can be found playing at local folk clubs.

Believe me, there are hundreds of us out there!

 

Good luck to you all. I look forward to hearing some of your work.

I went there and it says you have no content. I also went to your Apple page but I like to hear full songs so I clicked out because I don't like joining a lot of sites. Sry.

Greetings! I've been a member for a while but haven't posted anything, or maybe I did and don't remember. I'm old!  :)

 

Any other babyboomers here, or is it just for youngsters?

That did my heart good, too many would proclaim expert status at that point and never learn another thing from anyone only spout about their expertise and how you can only play drums with REMO heads and 5A sticks anything else and its just not up to par :) you're well on your way IMO!

I'm that basic i don't know what REMO heads are. I do know a bit about 5A sticks after destroying all the cymbals on an electronic drum kit through smashing away with the wrong type of drumsticks. An expensive lesson haha
