http://bassbassdude.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Practicing doesn't make you better, but it does prevent you from getting worse. Keep Practicing. Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Children of Eden Feb 11-27. It's been a long time since my last post, but I thought I'd throw this out to you. I'll be playing bass in Scarborough Music Theatre's "Children of Eden", a musical based on a book by John Caird, loosly based on the book of Genesis; music and lyrics by Stephen Swartz (Wicked, Pippin, Godspell, and the film Prince of Egypt). February 14th at 2pm. Childr...

BassBassDude: It's All Gone
http://bassbassdude.blogspot.com/2009/09/its-all-gone.html
Practicing doesn't make you better, but it does prevent you from getting worse. Keep Practicing. Monday, September 14, 2009. On Sunday, I was having a printer problem at home. It was basically a driver issue with the new update for my OS that I downloaded onto my ibook. Well, the last time I had this problem, I re-installed the original OS X Tiger. No problem, right? It was all gone. Well, my only hope for salvaging some lost data is to check in with a store the specializes in Macs. Maybe in my haste...

Practicing doesn't make you better, but it does prevent you from getting worse. Keep Practicing. Tuesday, August 25, 2009. Upton Bass - UB Professor POPLAR Deluxe. In my pursuit for a mid-level double bass, I found Upton Bass String Instrument Corporation in Stonington Conneticut. Upton Bass is a retailer and wholesale manufacturer of quality products tailored to the double bassist. Anyway, here's a little bit more about this bass:. It seems like this may be a Bass that covers all my musical areas. Music...

BassBassDude: To Mystic and back

Practicing doesn't make you better, but it does prevent you from getting worse. Keep Practicing. Thursday, September 03, 2009. To Mystic and back. Don't put all your eggs in one basket." In my case, I shouldn't have placed all my trust into my GPS. As a last minute decision, I decided to take the family down for a road trip to Mystic, Connecticut. What's in Mystic? Back to the GPS. Lesson learned: Bring a map. The road trip back was so much easier since I spent the night writing down Google Map's directi...

BassBassDude: August 2008
http://bassbassdude.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Practicing doesn't make you better, but it does prevent you from getting worse. Keep Practicing. Monday, August 25, 2008. On Saturday night, I had two gigs booked. Because the location of the two were close proximity, I figured things would be fine. Tired and exhausted with bass amp in-hand and a hard lesson learned, I went to bed with the feeling that I was given a very lucky break. Links to this post. Monday, August 11, 2008.

BassBassDude: March 2011
http://bassbassdude.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Practicing doesn't make you better, but it does prevent you from getting worse. Keep Practicing. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. I find when things get busy in life, you really need to prioritize and organize what is most important. For me, I have found that I always wanted to pass down my joy for music with my kids. With work and gigs taking a significant portion of that time away, it was imperative that I found a vehicle that would channel these skills and values. Enter the Suzuki method. Links to this post.

BassBassDude: Restaurant hiatus
http://bassbassdude.blogspot.com/2011/10/restaurant-hiatus.html
Practicing doesn't make you better, but it does prevent you from getting worse. Keep Practicing. Wednesday, October 19, 2011. So, it looks like me and MV will be on hiatus from playing up at the restaurant for the next little while. It's funny to think that I've been playing live jazz and r&b up there for well over 6 years. Good atmosphere and good people. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Broadcast Media Specialist by day. Double Bass Player/Musician by night.
