Highly recommended! (Great Price and Excellent Service)

A very unique solo string bass act

'Bassics' was recorded in a single day. The string bass, vocals and hi-hat are performed simultaneously (no double tracking) on all nine tracks which are also live first takes and presented in the originally recorded sequence.

Title	Music	Lyrics	Artists
You Gotta Believe	Dan Hicks		the Hot Licks
	This tune is very difficult to classify. Perhaps 'jazz-country' comes closest. It is quite unique. I love the lyrics and it is one of my very favorite songs.

Stray Cat Strut	Brian Setzer		the Stray Cats
	This song has a raw edge that I have always liked. It is one of the most requested songs in my repertoire from all age groups. I used to be a substitute teacher and the kids really loved this one.

Faith of the Heart	Diane Warren	(Star Trek 'Enterprise' Theme Song)
	Official Title: 'Where My Heart Will Take Me" - This is my newest song. I have been a Star Trek fan since the beginning. As soon as I heard the opening theme song for the new series (first season version), I knew I had to learn it.

Precious Lord	Thomas A. Dorsey	(Traditional Gospel Hymn)
	An amazing song which can be played in a church or on the street and anywhere in-between. Mr. Dorsey sat down and wrote it in one night in the grief following the death of his first wife and son during childbirth in 1932.

Twisted	Ward Gray	Annie Ross	Joni Mitchell
	This is one of my oldest songs and still one of my favorites. The lyrics reflect my feelings about the 'medical industry' in general. Take some responsibility for your own health. Do some research. The body knows how to heal itself.

Rocky Raccoon	Paul McCartney	John Lennon	the Beatles
	This version came about as the result of a request from the audience one evening at a gig or perhaps an open mic. I already had the bass out and thought, "What the heck?" It would have been a pain to switch back to guitar... and it sort of worked...

Drown In My Own Tears	Henry Glover		Ray Charles
	This is another newer tune for me. I learned it right after my soul-mate passed away in January of 2007. In April of that year I drove across the country singing it to myself repeatedly and, well, drowning in my own tears.

Midnight Hour	Wilson Pickett, Jr.
	This one is just plain fun to play on the bass and sing. And, of course, every CD must have at least one song that fades out... fades out... fades out... fades out..........

Centerpiece	Jon Hendricks	Harry Edison	Lambert, Hendricks and Ross
	This is another older tune and was one of my soul-mate's favorites. Her name was Willow Wood and she truly was the 'centerpiece' of my life. I like the song a whole lot too.
