ABOUT

Experienced Bassist/Vocalist. Professional attitude and appearance.
I have worked in many genres and in "house bands" where versatility was a must. Strong onstage personality and M.C. skills.
The main picture is of me, my friend Vivian and the Yellowjacket's Jimmy Haslip...a purty fair bassist and friend.
My last steady gig was pickin' and singin' with "Fast Eddie and the Lazy Boys" a group which frequently played Hollywood Casino and many of the upscale clubs in the Greater Cincinnati area. I have also been spotted onstage at The Madison Theatre opening for greats such as Delbert McClinton and others and playing numerous benefits.

EQUIPMENT

Schector Guitar Research Stilleto Diamond 5 bass guitar. Re-issue of the famous and versatile Kustom 400 watt head with choice of tube or solid state sound with matching four x ten cabinet. It's blue sparkle roll & pleated upholstered naugahyde (no naugas were hurt or injured in the manufacturing of this baddass amp). I SHOULD relly hang a set of white fuzzy dice from the front of this but THAT would detract from the focus of the rest of the show and likely injure the fragile psyche of a frontman/woman if they happened to be David Lee Roth or Lady GaGa. In spite of my tremendous charisma, I prefer to play bass which I like to spell
B-A-S-E....laying a solid foundaton for others to build upon. I have been around the world a few times, while enjoying meeting Kristoferson, Delbert McClinton, and a few others, I mostly missed Cincinnati Chili and Frisch's.
My future wishes include, but are not limited to: meeting Chaka Khan for my own interpretation of weight loss via "sweating to the oldies" (i.e. missionary, Chaka on top, Chaka on side, Chaka cake ala mode...)
