I think DUsty helped me find a groove early on in playing which helped me land a 2 1/2 yr gig at age 17 with a bunch of old farts. Made money. Had a blast. Now I'm an old fart! THNX DUSTY!

Someone once asked me to describe my tone, and I said it was like farting in a trash can. What I meant is it’s raw, but you’ve got to have the tone in there."

I live about 2 or 3 miles from him but he hasn't had me over for dinner and drinks yet.  |

If you wanna hear an awesome disply of how blues rock bass should be played, listen to "Prettyhead" on the Rythymeen CD...

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Brussels | | | i think he's great. Being able to hold together a 3 piece band is a much harder task than it seems at first sight.
Dusty also has great gear and tone. |
