My name is Chris
I'm French, relocated in Singapore since 92, but currently in Munich, Germany, for 3 years...
I learned music as a kid, got a boring teacher and gave up, then started again in teenage time with a garage band... then stopped again 'coz of work ... and now found out that you can play in a band using a PC ... not very satisfying socially, but at least can play & have fun...
Music has some genes in the family (I still have original walz and tango scores from my grand pa!), just wish I had practiced when young, then I would not have such stiff fingers... sob...

um... I have probably most fun with jazz/funk, although I try some other styles from time to time to experiment.
I'm not a very skilled player, so I need to do what I can with less notes ;-)

work (sigh..) ... actually I do enjoy part of the stress... ;-)
I have a wife and a 6 year-old daughter... a queen and a princess at home, I'm a lucky guy !
