I recently moved to North Carolina. I am on the border of Clayton and Smithfield. Back in Philly, I was part of a fantastic party dance band in Philly for the past 8 years. We started out as a Classic Rock band but sequed into a dance band over time. It's what people want to do when they go out for the evening-Dance! I was the guitarist in the band, and I sang backup. We also had a keyboardist, bassist, drummer, female vocalist and male vocalist. We covered a lot of music territory with this setup. We usually played two gigs a month on average. Our shows were in casinos, dance clubs, festivals and corporate gigs. It was a great time, and we were great friends. We parted amicably due to my moving to Florida.I am looking for a similar situation here in Florida. I am 56 and have been playing guitar since The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. Music's in my blood, and I would like to find a similar situation here.
