10/24/2016-  Another busy weekend in the books…taught on Saturday morning until 3 PM, then packed up and was loading in at a private party by 4:30 PM. This was sometime around 7:00 that evening.  I was so glad I set my rig up by the fire pit. The wind had picked up and it was Read More …

I can’t believe it’s been five years since I met this little one! Warning…seriously cute cat video ahead….

I did this interview almost a year ago, and I am seriously grateful to Brent-Anthony Johnson for the opportunity. The published version is online here. The original interview I typed out was almost 10 pages long….way too much for an interview online and shorter attention spans. However, a few folks saw the original copy and Read More …

Putting a link here to mostly keep track of these articles I wrote a few years back. As time goes on, they are getting harder and harder to find in the indexing unless you search the title. Here’s a listing of the articles I wrote during my time as a blogger for MTH. These articles Read More …

DKRE got to perform as a guest last Wednesday night. We were at a local open mic run by Headstone Circus. Mike Hope got some video of the group performing a lot of new material arranged for this lineup. Sweet Child of Mine and Kashmir were brand new additions to our set list and had Read More …

“Can you share an experience in the Bass Kune Do group where playing your instrument and honing your craft lead you to the self-discovery of who you are as a bassist and more importantly a person?” (Photo by Aaron Gibson, taken at the 2016 LoDo Bass Bash.) Self-discovery is always ongoing. But playing my instrument Read More …

10/14/2016 – So, this was my Wednesday night…. This group really tore it up with strings forward versions of classic rock tunes…lots of interest in them now. Once my guys approve the videos Mike Hope shot (thank you Mike), I’ll have some videos up. It was a long journey to get here. I teach a Read More …

10/12/2016 – If you’ve caught my live show, you might recognize the end credits music to this video (starts at 25:55). Thanks to JB Hope for the guitar parts on this version of Exploratory Flight. What was fun was sending it to the show’s producer to see if it would work for the show. He Read More …

Interesting read (see the article at the end of this post). I’ve seen this “devaluation” most clearly in some of the attitudes of the music students I have taught. This isn’t all the students, obviously. And if you’ve signed up for lessons, you probably care more than most folks.  But there are these folks….as someone Read More …

A long time ago, someone interviewed me about being a female bass player. I replied, “we’re all just spirits in bodies, I just happened to get this body.” I don’t think they quite expected that answer. That being said, I’m really happy to see this video today. Just because society and well-intentioned parents tend to Read More …

This is a continuation of the previous post. File this under doing good AND things that freak you out…we need to invent a word for that. I can’t exactly call this serendipity, but in some ways, it feels like a form of it. Climbing into the wayback machine for a moment….to a younger version of Read More …
