    What year did you start playing bass?

    in 1963 when I was 15. my friends & I were getting a band together & everyone but me already had & played an instrument... they looked at me & said "guess you're the bass player" and that's how it began. I played piano & a little guitar, but I didn't have a B-3 and wasn't that good on guitar

    That one random song your cover band does that nobody else does.

    Maxwell's Silver Hammer. at the time we had 2 keyboard players, guitar, bass, & drums. 1st time the crowd was stunned.... after that it was always requested.

    musical advice to your younger self

    I'm 71... started bass at 14.... get a collection of every style of music (yes, even big band stuff) and sit down every day and practice. also, learn to read music... not just tabs
