I am a professional bassist. I play acoustic/folk music, old time country music, 50's and 60's rock and roll, rockabilly, hard rock/country rock to wild hard death metal. You have to do it all, now days.
Of course, I need a 'straight job' to make a living, so I also am a skilled high-end trim carpenter,and have worked on some very cool jobsites like mansions, cathedrals, museums and historical buildings in many places around the country.
