I am EMay. I play music : guitar (12/6 strings, acoustic and electric), bass (fretted and fretless electric, and acoustic ~ not upright... yet...), hand drums (egyptian and turkish style darbouka, riq, frame drum, and occasionally djembe or davul. i do not play the bongos.), piano/keys....
& Sometimes I perform solo, doing that chick with a guitar thing.
& yet other times, I play with other musicians, either just jamming or as a hired gun musician. Recently, I have worked with: Agnes Wired for Sound
Bruce Hoffman
Opposites Attract
Sikes!
And a lovely choir of chanting chanteuses

Lately, I've been fluctuating between third an fifth...spent some time at FIRST also....Really, I need to clinch this #1 spot....and with only 46 entries, its an easy judge...just create a quick profile (takes 2 seconds), click on Alliteration on my profile, and then hit judge....it will take you straight to the JLSC judging page. Go head to head, listen to each song for 15 seconds then rate them...once you have listened to a song once, you don't have to again, you can just judge....
