    How do you describe your role when asked?

    My bumper-sticker on the back of my car sums it up... "Like every other musician, you are following a bassplayer"

    Who plays guitar as well?

    I was first very interested in how to read and write music notation. Early on I wrote charts for big bands and arrangements for touring musicians. I played drums but quickly got tired of lugging them around. So I bought a Maton Vampyr 6 string bass in Australia (one of 54 they made back then)...

    Today is National Say Something Nice About Fender Day.

    My guitarists says... They put Sex-O-Fenders in jail, but not my Strat. Thanks all, this subject is quite a Fender Bender!

    Things we didn't know or do in the 60's and 70's

    In the 60's... Sex was safe, driving was dangerous (sorry ladies)

    It happened again... why don't people ask in advance.

    Perhaps the guitarist that drove this chap to the event, should go ahead and loan his car to this drunk bass player for the drive home too.
