Hello all, I'm a seasoned bassist (translation 66yrs old) and love Afro pop, West African and also Indian music too. I've played pop, rock, jazz, funk and just about all styles and gigs, tributes, originals to wedding, corporate gigs. Anyway, I play both fretless and fretted 5-string bass, plus PBass with flats - so pretty all styles of electric bass.
Samples of me playing some originals are here:

Influences I follow want to lean towards, Afro Celt Sound System, Zawinul Syndicate, Peter Gabriel, Scott Kinsey, Angélique Kidjo, Manu Dibango, Fela Kuti, Papa Wemba, etc.
I'm interested in meeting musicians (guitarists, percussionists, sax and brass, synth, drummers) that would be interesting in getting together to jam and see what we can come up with. I'm located in north Arlington (near Euless), and really want to stay near this area.
