This year has been a damn fine year for me..
My drummer partner in crime and I found a kindred spirit in the form of local legend MIDI guitarist Mr Curtis E Johnson and we took it straight to the stage.
Played some blinding gigs and got signed by local indie record label Grass Roots Records and recorded an EP with Alabama 3 guitarist Rock Freebase.
Then just when I thought things couldn't get any better, my favourite label mates found themselves without a bass player and they asked yours truly if I fancied it...
I jumped at the chance. They've just had a great year themselves, playing tons of gigs and releasing an EP on Grass Roots with D.Wayne Love of the Alabama 3.
They're a rather unconventional band, replacing guitars with ukulele's. I've been using the lead uke players Kala fretless u bass this last week and while it takes a little getting used to, it sounds great!
I'm probably going to opt for a Countryman fretted after Xmas is out of the way...
Anyway.. Any other uke bassists out there that wanna swap notes?.?
