[Dixielandjazz] Luckyhorse

[Allan Brown]

Every time I follow a link to the music being produced by members of the DJML I'm blown away. I, however, have little to show or impress with. In fact the only record I have is a poor video from the one gig I've played in about 15 years. I'm playing my homemade/ hybrid left hand double bass and you can see me staring intently at the silver markers I painted onto the side of the neck, in an attempt to play vaguely in tune. It's not Dixieland, but I hope you enjoy it. The band is called Luckyhorse and Simon the singer wrote the song.

I've since had a pal set my bass up properly, and given how much easier it plays now I'm amazed I got anything out of it at all. (Should anyone be interested he makes fantastic electric double basses http://www.bespokebasses.co.uk/ )

(Thanks again for all the banjo feedback.)
