U.S. Army Vet. (Active duty from 6/1981 to 7/1992) My first live gig was in an NCO Club in Worms, Germany. I was hooked. Been loving all things Bass since. I have 2 grown children who are doing fine. 1 is a Nurse!
No more live gigging for me. I had to be honest with myself, my health won't let me gig anymore. It was like a death in the family to realize that and sell my live gear. My new goal is to learn recording techniques and to write music. Then somehow, some way , sell it.s
