Dave The Bass Player

I play the bass and have a recording studio....more to come!Well I guess it said this for so long I had better at least start with the 'more to come'. SO. Damn I wish someone else would write this but,. .. .. I've been playing bass since I was 14. Before that I played trumpet, drums and the sexiest instrument of all the TUBA. No offense tuba players. Anyway, been into making music since I was a little kid. In high school and college I got a taste of getting paid for playing. A hundred bucks a gig !! I thought that was f'n amazing. I had no expenses that was spending (drinking) money. Isn't it so strange that after all these years of working and practicing and gathering experiences the gig still pays a hundred f'n dollars. And now I have some real 'expenses'. Oh well you know the joke about the guy shoveling elephant poo at the circus. When asked why he wouldn't want to quit that disgusting job and do something a little more respectable he replied "what, and give up show business?" So now I have a life in "show business" that I truly love. I play with the great Mr. John Doe. We have played together now for around 5 years. Since I first played on record of his 'Dim Stars, Bright Sky'(IMusic 2002). This june 12th the new record (my third with John) ' A Year In The Wilderness'(Yep Roc!) comes out and we head on the road for the summer. I'll post the schedule as I get it. And I'm gonna be checking in and starting my blog from the road. And if I get to your town I'de love to see you . Well this may not seem like much but I'm exhausted. I will try to make this better as I go so that those who are new 'Myspace freinds' or didn't know me before have some idea who the bearded freak "Dave The Bass Player" is. more to come...
