A band without a bass tends to wander, lacking the stability, rhythm and punch that a bass provides. Carmen is a great bass player that I have the honor to be acquainted with. We caught him at Folklife jamming with friends, but he wasn’t too busy to say hello to us. If you want to hear what they sound like, follow the link attached to the title of this post.

What a fantastic painting…I’m blown away by it Mimi.
I love the detail and expression in his face.
Great capture… someone once said…what was it again…”You were born to paint” I’ll second that!
