in the interest of avoiding bull shit. I lived in new orleans, san francisco, and los angeles. Based on my experience in playing in those markets my playing level is mid-level professional as a musician. Singing is not my forte, but i can sing well enough. The primary thing is that just love to play. Currently i play twice a week at church with the new contemporary worship music, so much of it is jam style improvisation. So i played in jazz big band, six piece dance band spin off of the big band. tons of pop and rock and some progressive rock.
