A funny thing happened to me....
Ray Chang called me and told me that our regular friday gig at Steamers in Pismo Beach was cancelled this week. Apparently, "The restaurant was going to try something different". Which was fine with me, that friday gig was starting to grow weary.
However, not 30 minutes later, I get a call from Sonny Wright, jazz vocalist. She says, "Would you like to play drums friday night at Steamers?" Their normal drummer couldn't make it, and I had recently played a gig on drums with Joe Duran, the bass player who plays with Sonny. He dug my style and told Sonny that I could hang.
So I had a blast. And I hung in there, swinging, latin, funk. Good times.
And audio from the recording session two weeks ago. Because there are some edits to be made, I've just highlighted my own playing in these cuts. I don't want to put someone else's unfinished audio up on the internet. So that's my excuse for being completely narcissistic and just putting up my bass solos....

Hey old friend, has anyone else ever compared you with the great Sgt. Floyd Pepper of The Electric Mayhem. I totally mean that in a good way (if you're not a Muppet fan just disregard). Also, very excited to hear you tackling the upright.
Yeah, whatever - leave the drums to the professionals.... HA!
Hey 'Anonymous,' I know who you are!
