XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXBB Morse-Electric &
Stand-up Bass & Vocals
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXBorn in 1952,
BB Morse has spent a lifetime
playing music and learning the
crafts of his trade. His music
has taken him around the world
and across the U.S. many times,
sharing the stage, recording and
playing with many of the greatest
and most legendary acts of our generation.
*****
As a child of the 1960's counter-culture and while growing up in the San Francisco/ Berkeley, California area,
BB held fast to the many tenets that have defined this era and its music.
****
From Telegraph Avenue to Haight-Asbury Street
from the
UC Berkeley campus to the Family Dog,
Keystone Berkeley or the Filmore West,
Winterland or Golden Gate Park in
San Francisco, BB was there, growing his
hair & beard, knowing that music was what
he wanted to do when he grew up. His Father,
who was a trucker by trade and PRCA Rodeo Cowboy
on the week-ends told him, "SON ! You can't do
both and if you wanna make some money with that
guitar, you'd better SELL IT !", It seemed odd
advice from the man who had taught him to play
guitar at age 9, but life sometimes is a series of contradictions and dichotomy's.
****************************************
But BB stubbornly held on to his dreams
and began his professional career
in music at age 13.Ranging in stlyes from "Cowboy Classics", "Folk"
and "Rock" to "Country", "Western Swing", "Tejano",
"Blues", "Funk", "Fusion" or "Jazz",
BB's etched out a network of like minded
musicians/artists and put his instruments
to work, never looking back !
*
BB transcends musical styles & genres
with his uncanny ability to put the
correct groove to the right tune,
putting a virtual lock on the "BOTTOM END",
with a "GROOVE" that makes you "MOVE".!!!
**
Grammy winning Pianist, Floyd Domino,
whom BB recorded the Merle Haggard
Jazz Album ,"UNFORGETABLE" and who
has also performed many live dates with, calls him:
"THE ATOMIC CLOCK".
Once you hear him, you'll decide.....
