"Over 20 years, and an unfathomable number of gigs, in all styles from punk and ska to funk and fusion, with detours through Willie Dixon and Duck Dunn. I've played all over the place including New Orleans and Paris, and every moment has been an education. During my years on the staff and faculty at The National Guitar Workshop I learned the most important lesson of all: how much we all have left to learn! Over two decades into it and I STILL feel like a beginner." STW
This is what I do to pay the bills! More fun than any bass player should be allowed to have, and over 200 nights a year! Original roots, blues, funk, soul, zydeco, latin, and a bottomless trick bag of tunes we like! www.casablancos.com This is what I do sometimes on the side for food and various durable goods. I set up local bands and businesses with web sites they can easily maintain and upgrade on their own. I'm the Johnny Appleseed of starter pages, kinda like my secret identity Contact: basslinemail@aol.com BigFatBassSolo.mov This is me and our buddy Mike "McDrums" McDonald gettin' it together at Awful Al's for the 2005 NY State Blues Festival. The stage volume was a "bit much" for the built in mic on the digicam, but I think the blow out just adds to the vibe!
