MB - Day 1
Got to hang at with Steve Bailey, Vic Wooten (and eventually John Patittuci, Billy Sheehan & Greg Bissonette) at Steve's place for a few hours today.
Started off with Vic doing a few tapping lessons for video. Then they set me up - I played a few tunes on video and chatted with Vic about the tunes and what I've been up to. Then we jammed a bit on a riff from another one of my tunes - Vic came up with this great bassline - damn that guy is good. ,-)
Anyway - that's their video -for their website - the bass vault. I'm not sure how much of it will actually end up online - but if they aren't going to use it- I'll certainly try to get my hand on it so I can release some of it.
I've been shooting some of my own video at the "private concert" tonight - but obviously not of my performance. Kinda hard to shoot video of yourself with no tripod. I'm finding it tough to stay engaged in the event AND try to capture it on video.
Dinner tonight was insane. Road stories, road stories road stories. Hilarious stuff. Billy Sheehan is a f'n riot. Super fun guy. Classes start at 9am tomorrow - gotta get some sleep. More later.

First of all, YOU SUCK! But in a good way. You suck because you get to hang out with all my bass heros and do what most of us only dream of. But the good side is you are a killer player and are totally justified in being there. You better put some pics or clips up. And hurry up and put that damn cd out already!
Peace
Morgan

Ha!
thanks morgan - I was pretty negligent in getting pics and video.
I was really just too into being there and hanging that I ended up packing away the cameras. I have about 3 pics from steve bailey's place and a few short vids of each of the players sound checking - but thats about it - but nothing of me.
Hopefully some other people have some pics and vids to share.
