There was a 3 piece cover band called, The Pulse. Thoroughly entertaining the visitors to the spring fair. They were great!
Bass Guitar: Ernie Rail. Music Man StingRay 5 (Trans Red). With chrome hardware. [5 string]
First introduced in 1976, the StingRay has been revered as one of the most iconic bass guitars in history.
The first bass designed by Ernie Ball Music Man, the Stingray 5 was unveiled in 1987 and has been an industry standard for extended range basses ever since. With its powerful punchy sound, the added flexibility of additional pickups and a comfortably contoured body the StingRay5 satisfies even the most demanding of players. They are not made like this anymore sadly.

Any bass player worth their salt played a Fender Precision. Since 1951 the P-Bass has been the most popular bass in Rock, Country, Jazz and everything in between. Heavy as a boat anchor but plays like a dream. When Pam isn't home you can find me in my little studio rattling the windows. Such a blast to play.
This is the last of my 4 guitar/4 camera series. Its been fun.
Kelly Thoma's lyras lined up prior to a lunchtime concert with friends which included her husband Ross Daly. (I was taken aback by the amount of dust behind the strings!)
On the left is my main fiddle, on the right is my cheap fiddle for outdoor use, a pre-WWII German made violin.
Here is a link to my progress video, from 1 day to 1 year :)

This was a hand-held shot from the third row of seats inside the Cafe Tortoni, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Flash photography was not allowed. I used my small Nikon P5000 camera.
Got to stop by Gallery X in New Bedford to check out my friend's band, Pumpkin Head Ted. They were playing at the annual Gallery X "Public Xhibition".
After describing her instrument, with its 13 strings and unique, elaborate tonal qualities, the artist told us that if you can read kanji (Chinese characters), anyone can play this. Don’t count me among the believers…. : )
It was a wonderful experience to be serenaded by Filipino local performers as they sang native songs while on a stopover during the Loboc river cruise.

Not much else to say about this. I like the silhouette (can you call this a silhouette?). I would like to have a series of pictures of silhouetted musicians. There are two pictures I can think of, in recent years, that I sadly missed. One was another silhouette, in Central Park, of a violinist in a Gothic archway at night. It was quite beautiful. But I wasn't quick enough. And another wasn't a silhouette, but a cellist on the beach in Jamaica, playing a very weathered looking cello for some people on the beach. Another beautiful shot. But it started to rain, very suddenly, and copiously. So, the moment was lost. Oh well.... I shall continue to keep my eyes open for these opportunities.
But I will say this: Bethesda Terrace NEVER disappoints when it comes to impromptu busker performances. I have had some magical moments there. The acoustics are pretty spectacular. I have found that the people who perform in Central Park are often professional musicians who choose to practice in that public venue, for inspiration, both in environment, and the financial kind. But they're not your average buskers. They are truly passionate. Music is their whole life.

Oh, how I love this fiddle.
It's been 4 months since I first started this journey. It's been so fun so far, and next weekend I will do my first recital.

Very popular in the 70's and 80's the Ovation is unique with their rounded turtle back body. I don't play this guitar much anymore but still fun to pick at.

While having dinner in small cafe in Lisboa, Portland, we were treated to live music. I loved the pastel colors and side lighting from window to create portrait that seemed like watercolor.
