I am tickled that you mention Americana. Have you seen the 2012 Americana Music Honors & Awards programme on the tele? Caught it yesterday on our satellite channel AXS TV followed by the genius of Steve Winwood. Only complaint is Steve didn't use a bass player but Hammond B3 pedals instead. No one's perfect. [/quote] No I didn't catch that I'm afraid. I play bass for an Americana style singer songwriter so I can't say I'm well listened in that style of music really outside of playing his music.

I would have been up for going on this. I work in a school so it would have been great timing as it was during the school easter holidays. Hopefully they will reschedule it sometime.

Thanks for the warm welcome

Hi everyone, looks like you've got a nice forum here. I've been playing bass for around 8 years. I now mainly play double bass in a few bands. Bit of Klezmer, Folk and Americana. Cheers.
