Hi Everyone

[jmoore65]

Introducing myself...

48 yo engineer/part time musician living in Melbourne, Oz.

I have been playing music for around 20 years, starting with saxophone then moving on to percussion after living in Brazil for 2 years. Currently trying to learn drumkit and improve my guitar. Currently playing percussion in a working Brazilian jazz group, for whom I write the majority of the songs (music plus lyrics in Portuguese). I am also involved in another project - more quirky/experimental Latin lounge stuff with spoken word (in English). I have a number of recorded tunes on a couple of Myspace pages - can I post the links here?

I write using guitar (usually on the couch at 6:30 in the morning before I go to work).

Looking forward to discussing songwriting with other people! I tend towards the dark ironic/ambiguous school of writing, a big fan of Donald Fagen.
