FWIW, I'm an older musician (well, not that old---mid-40s); a guitarist w/skills on keyboards, as well as other instruments & (older) computer/tech methods (I had a Yamaha CX5M!).
Although I no linger make my living performing, I've experience playing a wide variety of types of music & in various situations from solo to 10+ ensembles. I've some school-training but (as my posts show) I firmly believe that self-actualization is better than following instruction alone.
I've composed songs & other forms since I was a teen & continue to do so.
My musical tastes are too varied to really cite a list of favorites but familiarity with all forms of R&B, gamelan & Beefheart may give an idea of my interests.
