Slaphound
I've had an interest in music since my early childhood which started with my birth in 1967. My fathers taste in country and my mothers in pop. I Discovered Elvis immediately following his death as I did the Beatles following John Lennons death. My first musical instrument was the Alto Sax which I was playing in Band during my J.H.S. days. Early in High School, I became a bassist like my musical hero, Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. Then, after about a year of bass playing, my interests changed and I didn't pick up a bass again until I was 35. F.Fwd. 14 years and here we are. Playing upright in the High Grass Trio covering early Elvis, Bill Halely Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and a slew of old folk and bluegrass songs. Living the Dream. Thank you Father.
