A little bit about the perils of learning left-handed bass, and other stuff.

now there's a cool article about another fellow invert.

I never had a Hofner, but I did play my Dillion Beatle bass on a couple songs before

Good article. I liked the part about the Corpus Christi riot best. To this day, I will never understand the hostility that punk rockers had to deal with in this country at the time from other rock fans. It's all hard and loud isn't it???

The cool thing about that gig, at The Ritz in Corpus Christi, is a couple days later the local paper had an article about the show, it said we were banned by the venue from ever playing there again, and that the only other performers to ever be banned from that theatre in its many years of existence were Patti Smith, who'd played there a few months earlier, and Elvis Presley, in the 50s.

Well then, I'd say that's Mission: Accomplished!

Finally had a chance to read your article Ron; very nice! Congrats on your career, and the long-deserved accolades... has your band over played Abby Road On The River in Louisville? I'll be going there this weekend....

We were invited a couple years back but were already booked on the dates so we had to decline, haven't been asked back since.

Too bad, you guys would rock the Festival! Saw some great bands, and Saturday night, we saw All You Need Is Love, a band from Canada, combine with several other Festival bands, and do the "Love" album. Over 23 musicians combining to pull off the album; it was great!

Great set list. I had to look up a couple of the songs, and found three albums I wasn't familiar with.

Good luck with the new project.
