Korn ... Unplugged
As a wanna-be bass player, Korn is one of my all time favorite bands. Their bass player is just something that I can only one day hope to be like.

After action report -- First Bass Lesson.
Well let me start off by saying that I am just in awe at the skill that some people have, and can only hope to one day have that kind of skill.
I had my first bass lesson on Wednesday night, with a quick three-mile half marathon training run afterwards (thats another story), with my bass instructor. For those that know me I have been ecstatic about this since my instructor is Eric Grossman of K's Choice fame. Didn't even know that he lived in St. Louis, so imagine my surprise when I got a message from him on a local bass players board in which I posted that I was looking around for help.
An hour later I left with a much better understanding of the neck on my bass and positions of the notes across the fret board. Went home with some excellent exercises and work to practice on, and hopefully a month down the road I will have made some good progress for our next lesson.
Im going to give him some quick props and plug his myspace site;

And also mention that he is playing tonight at Pop's Blue Moon.

Four strings and the sound they make ....
Well guess it was time to finally do something creative in my life, given that the first part of my professional life was devoted to destroying things.
Coming into some spare cash due to some really odd and somewhat lucky circumstances, I decided to indulge in a small little known desire of mine to learn how to play bass. What can I say I love driving, thumping music, and find the draw of the bass much stronger than that of any other instrument. Ive only been at it a month now, and taking my first real lesson tomorrow ... but hopefully in a year or so I can be good enough to play with a local band.
Who knows ... I'll keep those of you that read this informed.
