Pinch me! I got invited to a jam at a drummer’s place and he told me to “bring [my] bass and maybe a couple of tunes you’ve written” and I did, and the cast of characters that showed up was nothing short of incredible and they played the shit out of my pieces and I’m kinda floating a little now… #jazz #bass #bassist #doublebass #stringbass #composer

Oof. My brain is mush after playing six hours of #windband music today, but at least my hearing is in reasonable stead. My IEM rig worked well and hearing myself better (while not overplaying) made a massive difference. #bassist #doublebass #stringbass #bassplayer

Playing another gig today for USA Memorial Day. Hope everyone everywhere is having a good day. #Music #StringBass #Basso

Ah, excellent. I just talked my way into sightreading a concert tonight with a #windensemble I used to play with about 20 years ago. Some wonderful old friends, and a bunch of music I’ve never seen before. Should be fun! #doublebass #stringbass #bassist #windband #concertband

Tremendous fun yesterday at work. My first time back in the saddle playing big band with my #doublebass tuned in fifths, and it worked incredibly well. Also, lots of fun sight reading some #windband rep and feeling very confident. These new Spiros need some breaking in still for arco (quite scratchy) but they are killing it for pizz work. #stringbass #militaryband #rcn

This week is a busy one. Played some gypsy #jazz last night with Casey Ryder trio, have a matinee with the Civic #orchestra of Victoria on Saturday, plus two nights of funky jazz with Steve Grebanier on guitar Fri/Sat nights. #ilovemyjob #bass #doublebass #stringbass
