I LOVE music. I must have it, at least 5 hours a day. I have been making music since I was 8. I play guitar, electric bass, double-bass, trap set, djembe, dunun, banjo (bluegrass and old-time), Uke, slide resonator guitar (round & square neck), lap steel, mandolin, tympani, tuba, baritone/euphonium, and I am getting started on fiddle, keyboards, Egpytian Tabla, Muhzar, & Riq, and Egyptian-style Oud. I'm currently playing bass and singing in a rockin' blues band "Leonard Blush" (formerly "BDK BLUES BAND" (www.myspace.com/bdkbluesband))(Rockin' Blues.....Blues-a-Rockin'...Leonard Blush, Leonard Blush, that's all you can think about!!...).
