Oh, by the way, for my New England bass buddies: PBS will be playing at the Regatta Bar on August 14. I'll be there, got my tickets already. Maybe we can make it a TB get together and chat it up with Mister Porter.

Send George an email asking him to visit your town. Seriously, he answers his emails.

I bookmarked your article months ago. Great great job, btw.

If things go right, I'll have tons of photos from that show for you all to see.

Yeah - TFS!!

I used to get rejected from a lot of bands, back in the day when I was in to all the more popular bass idols. George Porter Jr really turned me around - I think I owe my career to him!
