For a challenge , try playing "Start me Up " by the Stones and singing the lead vocal at the same time. (cleanly and well). I sing 1/3 of the lead vocals in our band and alot of harmonies. I am sure I am not near as good a bass player as alot of you, but singing and playing bass is a different game.

I've played (and sang) Time Heals before. Love that song.

Got into them back in '91 when we opened for them at a big college festival in Moorhead.

Wiseman by Slightly Stoopid

Such a simple bassline, but it really carries the song along. The crowd loves it and so do I!

Right now we're playing a medley of Kid Rock's All Summer Long and Sweet Home Alabama. Quite Trite, but it gets 'em dancing.
