Sounds Like
Fat bass. Swingin' or not. Funky or drivin'. Holdin' down the bottom.
Old enough to know better and young enough not to care. Bass player about town who will sit in with just about any one. Upright, fretless, fretted, rock, jazz, americana, pop. If the song is good, I'd love to play it.
I am looking forward to hitting the stage with ya again! It will be fun.
