In the mid 1960s thru early 70s I was a professional musician. I did lots of gigging in clubs and concerts and spent some time in Boston and NYC recording studios. Fortunately or unfortunately, I burned out on the FT road lifestyle in about 1973, and walked away from the biz, even though a major label was talking to our band (Clear Sky) about picking us up. Up until recently, music has been a hobby for me as I pursued a successful FT career as a visual artist.
Discovering "Playing For Change" is sort of responsible for pulling me back into more doing more serious musical work. The idea of the world-wide collaboration and the technology that allows that to happen intrigued me greatly. As did the incredible quality of the music I was hearing from their efforts.
My core interest now is blues and blues-influenced rock, although a little modern country influence also tends to creep in.
