"Prepare to be amazed. 'Bassics' was recorded in a single day. All of the tracks are live first takes and in the originally recorded sequence.

The guy came in and played the string bass, sang and played hi-hat simultaneously. It was slam, bam, thank you Leivam. I've never seen nor heard anything like it."

My hope is that it will serve as an inspiration for bass players everywhere.

Mr. Greenjeans (circa 1964)

There is a first time for everything. It was done in the early 1960's by Mr. Greenjeans on Captain Kangaroo, a live TV show for children. He laid an upright string bass across his lap like a guitar and sang silly songs. Even though I don't remember the songs, except my favorite ('I Love Ping-Pong Balls'), I never forgot the experience. Thanks Mr. Greenjeans, whomever and wherever you are.

OK, there's a last time for everything too. It HAS been done. Ho hum. Another guy with a guitar can never be more than, well, just another guy with a guitar. (sigh)
