| Clays Info I was born in a place that no longer exists. I started playing guitar when I was 13. My mother bought me a no-name electric guitar which I thought was soooo cool then. What parent in their right mind gets their children an amplified musical device? I saved my money (and anybody else's I could find) and bought a Fender Champ amp. I learned most songs by ear. They didn't always sound exactly like the original artists, so I played them louder. After I got older and got more money, I bought other guitars and things that would help me with my playing - you know, bigger and louder amps. Randy and Eddie told me they were starting a band and that they needed a bass player. I had never played bass before, but being a bass player or no player helped me make the choice. I haven't regretted the decision. I do get a lot of abuse from the other band members though, because I don't move around much when I play. Mostly they call me names. So far I've been called; "Ice Man", "Mr. Personality", "Techno Geek", "Stonehenge", "Stone", and a few others that aren't G-rated. I get back once in awhile, mostly with drummer jokes and a few aimed at the singer and guitarists. Have you ever noticed how many drummer jokes there are? I started playing with Randy's Harmony 4 string bass, then bought a sunburst 4 string Hamer Cruise Bass, and recently added a blue 5 string Fender Jazz bass. I play these through a Hartke Kickback amp (used mostly as a monitor) and send the signal to the mixer. I'm saving my money for - whate else? A bigger and louder amp. When I started, they told me my job was to help keep time and help with the key changes - but hey, I just play the bass. Clay |
