I’m a 60-something bassist with 41 years in music education, a Masters from the University of North Texas, ands loads of experience playing country, rock, and jazz. I read really well, and have a great work ethic. I even take regular showers and, unlike here, try to keep my opinions to myself.
All of my experience, however, is with American groups. I have no idea how things work for us semi-pro, weekend warrior types here in the U.K., and, more specifically, in East Anglia. I would love to get on folks’ radar like I was in the Midwestern U.S., but where to start? I’m playing with a band right now that may or may not get out of the practice room. I’d like to get around folks that are a bit more experienced.
Any thoughts?
