15. I sing, and play harmonica, flute, and sax

Dec 2011

Always been sort of a semi pro, meaning I almost always had to have at least a part time day job too.
I've mainly done blues, and 60's soul and rock over the years, but have played a wide variety of styles. My favorite style to sing (and what I'm best at) is rockabilly but haven't done that in a dozen years. On harmonica,blues obviously... and on sax, I love the old soul stuff. For flute; I like reggae, and jazzy stuff (as opposed to jazz, although can sort of fake it if I have to) like Van Morrison... I love harmony singing too but only get a chance to really do that once in a while.
