Phil Roberts Prof Bethesda

Story

Played guitar since I was 16 years old, self taught. Not played in a band. Ran a music venue pub for 5 years, rock and blues bands, got up with them to play in public. Love guitars, can't walk past one without picking it up and playing it. Love Gary Moore, David Gilmore, really into Joe Bonamassa right now. Like to play any type of music rock, pop, reggae, specialy the blues, and lots more. Could do with some one to jam with, even start a band up if possible. Hope I'm not too old LOL. PS Just lost my beautiful wife to the big C. 2 months ago, very hard without her after being together for 52 years, Miss You, Miss You, Miss You,Lynne Roberts R.I.P.
