i need to find some like minded individuals around my age and musical abilities to jam with. playing "now i wanna be your dog" by myself just doesnt cut it anymore.

well, i recorded a practice/jam this evening with me playing guitar and singing. i looked at the video after and not only deleted it off the sd card but then i burned the thing and put it into the blender to really destroy it. i'm no long allowed to sing as i cant carry a tune in a bucket. not even singing old husker du songs  :D ;D

Pretty tight sound there, Ben.
Write some simple songs that people can sing with and there'll be no stopping you.
Keep at it and you'll be a star someday!

I play a 5 string fiddle, mandolin, some keys and, recently, banjo.
All for fun, bluegrass and oldtime music jams mostly.
Huge traditional/folk music scene here in the Pacific NW.
Also plug the fiddle in with od/distortion and rock the house!
