At last evening's ukulele practice we were joined by Jim Peddicord playing bass guitar. Jim was a touring professional musician for 35 years, before settling down in a nearby community. He plays trombone in the Summerset Big Band, and is also Music Director for the band. He co-directed a joint Veterans Day concert of the Summerset Big Band and the Summerset Singers, the 85-strong choral group directed by our ukulele band director.
Jim will be playing bass at our June ukulele concert, and came along last evening to calibrate and practice with the ukulele band. It was interesting to see that he places his guitar vertically in a stand, and plays it like an upright bass.
Sorry about the grainy picture; I tried to improve it in PSE. I had only my cell phone with me last evening, and for some reason the flash wasn't working.
Edit: Fixed typo and added link.
