Music!
Music, both playing and listening, is a huge part of my life. I dig
Jazz, Improv Rock, Funk, Bluegrass, Classical, Progressive Rock, and
Other Stuff. Now if only I could play it all! Some particular
favorites have been Miles, Phish, and Stravinski. Lately (that is,
late 1998) I've been on a huge Bill Laswell kick. I love his recent
work; grooving baselines driving a funk/jazz/dub kinda sound.
Following the Laswell muse has turned me onto such great stuff as
Nicky Skopelitis, Jah Wobble, The Golden Palominos, and
Material.
As far as playing goes, I've played lots of instruments, none of them
particularly well. In the past few years I've been playing Bass, with
some more success. Lately I've been playing a Peavy Foundation
(that's it on the left) through a fantastic little
SWR
Studio 220 amp. I like the Peavy, but someday I'll probably find a
new bass. I'll probably be looking at
Modulus
or
Pedulla,
or perhaps even have one custom made. I can think about
it, at least...
A cool place for Bass players to hang out has been
The Bottom Line
- last I checked (two years ago or so at this point! Time flies...),
it had lots of really great discussion, usually without the Flames of
Usenet.
