New CD Out! Bow Junction Bluegrass

Well I've got to take out a minute to share the excitement over our winter project results. All the members of Bow Junction worked hard all winter making this CD.

Among the interesting challenges of the project, our long standing banjo player Pete Odom took a new job and moved to Atlanta mid project. After a few sleepless weeks, music ace Marty Hayden filled the spot and helped us finish the project. He's now playing regularly with Bow Junction.

For more info, look us up on DIGSTATION.COM or CDBABY.COM. You can sample the tunes at www.bowjunction.com and order the CD or other merchandise.

Enjoy!

Time out for Jazz

Took some time out from the bluegrass venture to join some friends doing a fund raiser for hurricane repair down in Biloxi Mississippi. This was a fun time with a group called Tall Granite Jazz. This was a great gig that cooked right from the beginning! The star of the show is woodwind ace, Dave Cook shown on soprano sax. Dave Dustin wailed on the trombone, Whit Symmes pounded out a mean jazz piano while Kurt Ekstrom's cool rhythms on drums rounded it all out. A great evening for all!
Peace in Music! Randy

Make Room For the WAV

[Graphic from www.nedsteinberger.com.]
OK after over 30 years on the Precision, old habits die hard. I'm not selling the P-bass, but after two week's on Ned Steinberger's new WAV bass....WOW
Lots of fun. Action as fast as a bass guitar....sound - well at least strongly reminescent of the upright bass. I'm using it for a jazz gig in a couple weeks. Very smooth. Some don't like the pickup system (I don't use the pizz switch setting) but with a K&K preamp I can get the tone where I like it. Awesome instrument....
