I don't know what it was, but I've been sick for two days, and just started feeling better today. It might be pre-war jitters or a bug I picked up, but I felt really awful on Monday and Tuesday. June helped me by preparing simple foods for me -- mainly rice and juice -- and being wonderfully understanding (as always).
Sunday's session with the jazz group was great fun, as were the previous two sessions. This time, a second female vocalist joined us for a few numbers. I'm not sure whether this particular configuration of the group will endure, but individually they're all terrific players who could pretty much play with whatever kind of group they wanted to. In this last session, I felt like I was starting to get a little deeper musical connection with some the players, starting to tune in to their direction a little better rather than just playing down the changes.

About Me
- BassManPDX
- A friend of mine wrote a book a few years ago, all about the musicians and the scene around the old Bla-Bla Cafe in Los Angeles. In that book, I was (inaccurately) described as a "fretless bassist." When my wife heard that, she said, "She must have meant FRETFUL bassist." Hence the title of this blog.
