The other bass player travels from France to England for gigs!!!!   And I thought I was committed driving 130 miles each way from our new home to play with my old Bay Area band.

Lately, new opportunities have been popping up like spring flowers.  I jammed with a country band last week and have been asked to play a couple of gigs with them, the first being next Saturday.  I'm also speaking with a guy putting together a Reggae band.  (I may be seeking some pointers, Jazzy).  Both out of my wheelhouse, but that makes it fun and interesting.   And just in the last two days my Grateful Dead band picked up a memorial for a departed Deadhead that is taking over a resort a couple of hours north of San Francisco.  The gig actually pays well and includes cabins for the band to stay overnight.   Dead Enough also just got our first gig local to our new home in Grass Valley.  We'll be playing Saturday Night, July 4th, at a local brewery.   Should be a good draw as the country will be celebrating its 250th birthday.  We'll have to learn U.S. Blues for the gig!

Bill, tgo

Well I went on a 2 hr drive to see the band play last night in a small pub out in the sticks. They are a Chris Rea tribute band ( Not sure if he's well known in the states). They managed to get the original bass player from Chris's band to play that gig and he is keen to continue playing with them. However he lives in the south of France and so may not be cost effective for him to get to all the gigs especially the small ones. I'm having a chat with the band leader this week. 

This is an older picture. I don't have a more recent full on photo. I used this setuf for a few gigs but stopped using the line switcher as the click when changing patches comes through the speakers, even though I was sold it as silent switching. :-(


I'm not sure if this picture will show as i get a blue question mark where the picture should be and only an option to download the picture.

Not in my snazziest outfit, but I played that bass!

That fretboard is amazing.
