Another group whom I saw thanks to The Oaksong Society for Preservation of Way Cool Music. Watch the one-handed bassist. Probably told this story before, but... When the band went on a break between sets the owners of the farm had a nice closed off area for the talent. It went without saying that no one from the audience was supposed to go back there. The president of the Oaksong Society was a retired Miami Beach, FL police chief. So, of course, I wandered back; he stood up and said, "What do you want?" I said I'd like to ask the bass play a question. The bassist nodded that it was OK.

Me: "How do you play like that with only your left hand?"
Bassist: "Thirty-Four years of practice."
