Retire Service man Military & Government Agent

I love to play my drums to all kinds of music & genres. Easy to get along with but won't take abuse. I am self taught in all the instruments I do play this was way before you tube was around. LOL I am looking to jam and possible create a Fun Jam Band , meaning one or two gigs month, not looking to make it big I am over that stage in my life but if I can will help other to reach that goal. I have a rehearsal room in my home studio well equip with my drums a full PA mixer and a couple of acoustic and electric guitars, and other items. I don't need people using drugs in my life (Ex Law Enforcement Officer) and don't like people who can't hold their liquor and get stupid (to old to deal with the headaches). Look forward to meeting and jamming with some musicians I meet on here. God Bless and Rock on!!!!

What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music to me is a way of life,what it gives me is blood to my Heart it makes me Live!!!

What is your music dream?

To help an Artist to make it big, either with a song I wrote, or by helping them out with some idea.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

First I would start with erasing racism. Then would inject all genres into everyone's souls.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Color my World by Chicago

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Carlos Santana Band, Chicago, REO Speedwagon, Jimi Hendrix, Rare Earth, Mandru, Ohio Players, Prince, Michael Jackson, Maroon 5, Post Malone, etc...

What inspires you to make music?

Life does it for me, expression of music in my life.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Though music you can find an equal bond that we are all the same and should act that way.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

I feel as I am connected to a transfusion machine injecting my soul with the crowd souls.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

There are many Artist now a days who feel just because they are followed in Social media they served their time to make it big. what I would change is for them to have to hit the streets (parties, clubs,local pubs) Before they are offered any contracts. Not the same to clean up your songs on YouTube, than to play them live!!!

What do you think of Drooble?

I think it was well overdue, but also feel the same as previous question. pay your dues as a live performing artist before any fame.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Seeing people call themselves musician based on loops. They just added loops together to make a song. Real musicians can create those loops.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

Always support the local Talent by going to their shows at local pubs and clubs and anywhere else they perform. Nothing better than a live show to see what they really sound like.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

Main thing is actual Talent. Anyone can learn to program nit everyone can actually create, That is God Sent.

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

Mick Matthews, Bill Gregory, Mitchel Ray, Eddie Cruz
