    What got bass 'under your skin'

    Picture it, 1979, somewhere in the Northwestern USA. OK it was Salem, Oregon. I was a young man during summer break in what I think you Brits call early Secondary School. I was home alone trying not to be bored so I rifled through my brother's vinyl collection. There I found an odd looking record from a band called Rush. It had a big scary looking owl on the cover, and was titled Fly By Night. I put the record on the hi-fi, queued up the title track, and my mind was blown forever.

    From the opening guitar riff, I was hooked. I found myself particularly drawn to the bass. In all those years though I never picked up the bass. It wasn't until decades later when my daughter started taking guitar lessons. I sat there in one of her lessons listening to her play, and I found myself envious of my own daughter. I figured if I didn't learn my instrument of choice now, I'd never do it. Been playing badly ever since, but I still love it.

    Curiously enough, I don't know how to play any Rush songs.

    Check out Geddy Lee on YouTube (Rush bassist) and try and get the timing right on his intro to Spirit of Radio.....

    Dad bought me a guitat when i was 9 or 10, and it just seemed better with just the EADG strings so removed the rest..... then spent every waking hour learning bass runs from Yes, Taste, Frampton, Led Zep, The Who, Sweet, Slade etc etc.......
    He bought me a bass shortly after.........it is thoroughly in the blood now, get withdrawal symptoms if i dont play every day,

    Staring at 55 now, but still learning! Love it.
