Howdy everybody. I've been a member for a long time, read the posts daily, but interact fairly infrequently. I'm kind of the introspective type, as it were. In my day gig I'm a network engineer, and it still amazes me after twenty years doing this stuff that two computers can fire a signal across a wire at each other and it actually means something that the other can react to. It's like being a bass player, for sure, and seeing an audience react to your bass-line. I mean, we all know that those folks ain't dancin' to the guitar player, or even the drummer, they're dancing to us, the low-enders, the butt-movers and pant-flappers! I live in the Pacific Northwest where the micro-brew reigns supreme, and if that isn't enough, the wine industry up here makes some of the best world-class vino available. It's enough to make your liver quiver! I've been an Alembic owner since '98 and a fan since '74 when I first heard Stan-The-Man. My own playing style more closely resembles Duck Dunn, a killer finger-style R&B player if there ever was one. I'm also from Memphis, TN. Anyway, this place is an amazing collection of musicians, even bass players, and I'm glad I found it! Have fun, Reid.
