Month Recap

April, my birthday month, has almost always been good to me. This month had some great gigs, notably the San Diego show with Crosby. Also, I did a recording session with the salsa band, Sabroso, entirely on the Upright bass,

I played with some great new musicians, honed my chops with lessons from Jedi-Master Ken Hustead, got some, learned some. Great month.

There were more than 12 gigs this last month. I'm looking to top that in may, I've got 5 gigs this week alone.

And just recently, I won third place in the Drum Competition. That was a hoot. I felt pretty nervous, It's weird having the entire place stare at you for 3 minutes. I'm used to that sort of thing on stage playing bass, but it was different somehow.

There was definitely some grumbling amongst drummers. Howard, the new owner of the Drum Circuit, told everyone that I was really a bass player, and when I got third, some drummers were a bit peeved. It was all in good fun for me.

Video of Drum Competition coming soon....
