Beautiful bass! As I saw the faces of the folks in your band, I decided this could be worth checking up. Is that you guys on U-tube?
Must admit I like the style! Yes, sir! Do you do Perfidia?

Yup, that's us. We plan to add Perfidia - we've discussed it but due to turnover in band members, we haven't been stable enough to add it.

Here's a more recent cut - Pipeline/Baja - shot with a late night shaky-cam. (Pipeline is actually a GREAT lead-in to Lee Hazlewood's Baja) I was playing the gold top Casady in this one. The drummer missed the ending and we added a chorus...you will notice some laughing at the end of the cut.

Man, I just couldn't help myself when I heard Pipeline with you guys. Driven by nothing but my spine, I strechted my right arm and grabbed the nearest bass, an Epiphone Embassy, and fell into the bass line in the mighty E-minor. Duh-duh-duh, duh-duh-duh... Wowie! And Zowie! I would love to hang in a bar where you guys are playing! I would fill in with vocals for Perfidia if necessary!

I wish the sound were better in that one....but y'know, when you've played surf music it never leave you, does it?

999 - Love that aluminum upright, that's just simply stunning.

Thanks very much!
It was a huge amount of work; I got it in pieces and just polishing it out was weeks. Sounds really good and is a sensation on stage - and looks great with the colored lights!

Here's an old one...

Ah, high school...

The artist as a young man and before his "ooops, how did I wake up in this girls' dress and my face all made up?"-phase OR his "darn, all I wanted to do was photograph that pup and now I have this strange reflection of my manhood"-phase.

I'm happy you apparently had innocent days too, George.

TBird1958 · February 17, 2011, 09:25:16 AM

I was innocent........

Then I discovered my Mom's closet and my "special purpose" almost simultainiously

Highlander · February 17, 2011, 03:02:37 PM

"Mark" and "Innocent" on the same thread - now that's a definition for oxymoron if I've ever read one...

TBird1958 · February 17, 2011, 03:30:26 PM

"I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing"........................

Sorry Alice!

Highlander · February 17, 2011, 03:41:10 PM

Mark's been thrown out of the social circle...?
