Week Update
What a week - lots going and I am slowly recovering from a chest cold.
On Thursday we went to see Bonnie Raitt (opening act was Maia Sharp) . Thursday and Friday I went to a project management course. All great but I am wiped out - mostly it is the cold.
Tonight we are going to Blues on Whyte to see Kenny Blues Boss Wayne. Russell Jackson is playing with him and borrowed my new Eminence bass so I get to hear what it sounds like.
Here's a picture my Mom sent of her two new cats Maybelle and Sammy. Can't wait to visit my Mom - maybe this spring.
Last week I was scanning my favourite bass site TalkBass.com and came across a discussion thread about best albums featuring the double bass. I took some of the suggestions and checked them out of the library - artists like Duncan McTier, Brian Brombeg, Charlie Hadden, Ray Brown, Willie Dixon, Ron Carter and Marc Dresser.
It snowed last night so I am just going to stay inside sipping mint tea and listening to new bass-centric music. It's going to be a good day.
