It's all about the Bass. And good people doing good things
**** Stop Press ****
Amazingly, Richard has been re-united with his bass.
See his message at the bottom of this post.
Richard March is a
happy bunny right now. He plays double bass: you stand up and wrap your self around the instrument. He's in one of
the fastest rising bands in town, Rhino and The Ranters, among others.
Double basses are physical. They're actually bigger than the people who play
them. It means intimacy and engagement. Players are on their
feet, dancing. All musos have physical bonds with their instruments. But basses are already deep and primal. String basses take it deeper.
So when Richard posted
on Facebook, just before Christmas, that his bass, his amp and bits and pieces had been stolen, it came
across like a howl of pain.
