About Me

There's 6.5 billion of us on this Rock, which is flying round a Star, which is shooting round a Galaxy. There is no God & no Heaven, apart from what we make here on this Rock. (Phew! I feel better now I've got that off my chest) Some people write, draw, paint, build model railways, collect stamps, do DIY, cook & loads of other stuff. I play Double Bass, that's what I do. I also sing & dance, drink, eat, sleep & shag. On a good day I do all of 'em! I've been playing for about 20 years, first with Don Valley & The Rotherhides, then with Chicken Legs Weaver. I also played with Hazel Leigh, (but only musically - honest!) and now I'm playing with Baby Long Legs. Welcome.
