ABOUT
I've played violin for ages and guitar for quite a while too. At the moment I just write stuff on my own, but find it a slow process. In the past I've really enjoyed working with other musicians, and would really love to get involved with someone with similar musical ideas.
If you want to listen to a few of my tunes (some serious, some not so serious...) go to www.myspace/iwasjohnparker (just plain old johnparker was already taken).
