alexpea Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 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. Quote

lastnotleast Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Welcome. This is a great place for making friends. Here's hoping you will learn as well as teach . 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

[/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. Quote

great harry Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Hi Alex, I stumbled in here on Sunday as well and can't find my way out. The other inmates keep putting thoughts in head and tempting me with something called GAS., which I believe is an incurable addiction which will ruin my life. I hope you are stronger willed than me.

discreet Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Klezmer - isn't that the celebratory traditional music of European Jews? I think I saw a documentary about it recently, but it was very late at night and I drifted in and out somewhat. In fact, I may even have dreamt the whole thing entirely.
