This track is a rough-mix sample of my recent bass work in the recording studio. On this track, recorded at Evergroove Studio, I play the fretless electric bass, and the arco double bass hook melody you hear in the beginning and end of the track -- it's not a cello. This yet unreleased tune, "Sometimes In The Morning",  is written by singer/songwriter E.J. Bisiar from Evergreen Colorado.

Hook example #1

Here's an example of my hook writing. It is in the fretless electric bass line right at the beginning and ending of this song.

Here's my 5-track overdub rendition of Johnson Mountain Boys tune, "Now Just Suppose". Just like Dudley Connell does it, I sing lead, then pop up to the tenor for the chorus.

Now Just Suppose, overdub madness

Here's a demo of the Cut To The Chase trio with Jeff King, Mark Stefaniw and Dutch Miller. This trio can also be reconfigured with a drummer instead of the second guitar player.
