This is always a fun event. For me, it’s more like a family reunion than an expo. I was an instructor at the Gerald Veasley Bass Bootcamp for a few years. There’s two “schedules” of instructors at the camp; the daytime instructors and Night Owl instructors. The campers would be so excited at this event, they would awake all night, so the hotel staff would have to ask them to keep it down. As time went on, the camp added classes that go on into the late evening\/early morning hours. I did some very well attended Night Owl classes that started at midnight until 2 AM (and 3 AM on one occasion).

\n\nMy topic material ranged from using a looper to performing as a solo bassist. I would co-teach a class with Ben Titus that taught beginners jam session etiquette and some basic song forms to memorize for jam sessions. The camp also helped establish Lady Bass Gear in it’s early years.
