Hello from down under
 

Hi , I'm Paul , I'm 62 yrs old and currently in a 4 piece band playing a range of styles and these days mostly fundraisers in a small rural town. I play guitar, harmonica , and melodica.

I'm curious: If your real name is Paul, why is your username "Sammy"?

Well , Sam or Sammy were my nick names at school... Im a bit new to forums.. hope I did that right ?

You're fine; I was just curious. What bands/artists do you dig?

Welcome to MB.

Thanks guys.. Im having a Moody Blues retro time at the mo.. and I want to do ' Story in your eyes ' with the band. Always been a Knopfler fan. Blues and jazz... don't really like rap

Im trying to bring the melodica in on numbers... I want to bring it in on Locomotive Breath..Im showing my age a bit !

Jethro Tull, Moody Blues and Knopfler are alright in my book and I'm merely in my early 30s. Welcome to the site, Sammy :)

What about jazz, any favorites there?

Thanks for the welcome tore.. Im a bit of a George Benson fan... love the tone he gets , also Django Reinhart.. your a muso tore ?

Yes, of course!

I'm also quite fond of Django and gypsy jazz in general. An old favorite of mine which I've nagged others about on this board before is Jimmy Rosenberg who was a great guitarist before he retired :) (and still is I'm sure)



Of course he also plays a lot of Django!
