   About Blue Murphy
I started playing music in hippie drum circles when I was 19. Near that time, a friend had a bamboo flute he couldn't play, so he gave it to me. It was a Japanese flute called a shakuhachi. It was end-blown without the usual hole near the top. No one could get a sound out of it, so I spent a day and a half making myself dizzy until it finally sounded. It became an extension of my arm after that. My friend John Paul and I started a duo called OneSong. We did drums and flute and poetry.

Somehow or another I lost the flute and didn't play anything for a couple of years.

I found I couldn't live without playing music, so I picked up the bass. I've been playing ever since. I've been in a folk rock band, an Irish/Old-time band, a few Bluegrass bands, and most recently in a gypsy swing band.

My main axe is a Chinese upright bass I bought new 10 years ago, but looks much older now. I'm almost always looking for a gig and /or a good jam.
