I started this group because I am a musician who loves to produce and perform various music genres; jazz, pop and R&B; even some New Age if the moment hits me :^) I also enjoy going out and listening to these type genres in more mature adult settings. The problem I found when I moved to this area several years ago, and that still exists today, is that there are little to no venues of this type in the immediate Fairfax County area. I have had to go into Washington DC and even Maryland many more t …

I am new to the Northern Virginia area and I enjoy life!  I would like to connect and meet new professional friends that enjoy life as well.  However, we don't seem to have the time to do that or can't find the right venue.

Please join if you are …

This group is dedicated to vinyl records appreciation. The plan is to just  bring in a variety of records then all meet up at a local bar that has agreed to let us play them. Viola! We all show up and get a drink at the bar and groove to some tunes and talk/share knowlege. I had originally planned for music of 60's/70's because that is what I know best. But I think there is SO Much good music out there that is being lost or forgotten. So I'd like to open it up to Classical, Jazz, comedy, 20's 30 …

These …
