Peter "mars" Cowling

Pat Travers' bassist Mars Cowling was a huge inspiration when I was a budding bass player. Such cool riffs and jazzy inspirations in his style. I know he retired and I think he's living in Orlando,FL. Any others out there that can relate?
If not check out some of his stuff.

Same here. Best thing about the Pat Travers Band was Mars. I don't know what his story is, but I've hung out with him a couple times in the 80's and he seemed like a good guy but not very outgoing. And my GF at the time thought he was kind of a jerk. I didn't get that vibe from him but I did get the vibe that he'd be a bit of a handful to work with.
