some pictures from saturdays gig with one of my groups.  warning some mold involved



my engagement gift.  my wife got her ring and told me to order another bass from Fodera  - which was (is) my 5th.  Back in 1985 they were "reasonably priced - $1600 with my sales rep discount)    Spaulted sycamore over walnut body,  ebony fretboard with abalone inlays.  Black hardware. Hipshot.  just an awesome bass



to think i had a pony tail and 28" waist at my first gig at 15 back in 1972





tough to see but a rack with 2 ampeg  heads and tuner in it sitting on an avatar 2 - 12 cabinet.  great small venue rig....

At least you looked like you were having fun... and remember, rust mold never sleeps... ;)

Nice looking beastie...

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I love that so many of us not only still get to play at something we've loved for so long but that we've found a group of guys from all over that knows exactly how good it feels to do so. It's not like many other people understand.  ;)

Nice bass, mold or not  ;D

Hey, we old farts know what that music is SUPPOSED to sound like, and we ain't done till we say we're done.  People come out and enjoy it, so we can keep on keepin' on!

Everybody is having fun making music  :)

One of life's greatest joys.


We always rehearse at my house and I love it, making music with my friends (my bandmates are very close and I truly love them) is something I just treasure.
