Met resident Tber and New Standard fan Todd Murphy (The Jazz Lawyer) at the camps this week, and have to say what a pleasure it has been so far meeting folks from the board. We had a nice long chat about all things bass related, and some more specific stuff about Patitucci, whose playing we both admire.  Anyway, I don't have too much to add, but wanted to find out other members' reactions to meeting "internet acquaintences" in real life. So far, I'm batting a thousand. How about you guys?

One TBer came into town and I went to places. So far all the TB/DB guys I've met have been pretty civilized and well mannered, willing to spend some of their time talking more bass and stuff. The net is allright to beat distance and time constrains, but when possible, real life encounters are cool. Maybe local chapters should get together, establish secret handshakes and stuff like that... |

This is always a big social thing and lots of time is spent at the Student Union bar over a few(!) drinks, chatting to fellow musicians - and there are about 20 or so bass players - new and people I've met before.
A lot of us Brits have met up - but I've also met Adam "Thrash Jazz from Canada ...
All the DB players I've met have been nice people - easy to talk to. In fact the guy at my local Jazz club who books bands, say that he notices how bass players are usually easier to deal with, as leaders, than say - sax players!!

Communities like this are hard to find, both on the web and in the real world. |

Anyway, Mike Petrosino on drums, who I haven't heard. Actually I haven't heard Chris either, I just know he's on a bunch of FRESH SOUND stuff. Mike is nice, very enjoyable.
I forgot Nick Ara of all people. We had a nice conversation on break at a Sushi Taro gig, a real nice cat.
