Started playing drums at age 5, taking lessons from a professional teacher.&nbsp; Played&nbsp;in a couple of bands, nothing to write home about...&nbsp;&nbsp; When I was 11, I had major back&nbsp;surgery and was in a body-cast for a year.&nbsp; Couldn't play drums like that, so took up the guitar, and taught myself by ear, a cheap cassette deck, and a tape of Cream Live.&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been playing guitar ever since, I turned 50 last August.<br /><br />I can still play drums, but I don't own a set, and it probably wouldn't go over big in my apartment building anyway!&nbsp;<img src="images/smilies/face-devil-grin.png" border="0" alt="devil" title="devil" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So until I get up enough <span style="color: #339966;">$Dough-Ray-Me's$</span> to afford a set of Roland electronic drums, the drumming you hear on these songs&nbsp;is, and will be&nbsp;curtesy of DIB, (Drummer Inna Box!), but I am playing all other instruments, guitar, synth guitar, bass, etc... and I sing like a rusty hindge, so no vocals, unless I get the nerve up one of these days, OR get someone else to sing!<br /><br />I'm looking to get back into a band, it's been awhile and I miss jammin'!!&nbsp;&nbsp; Any bands in the ROCKville, (of course!), MD area looking for a classic rock/blues rock guitarist??<br /><br />
