DanL

Married my college sweetheart, together we have two (now adults and married) children and my current vocation of choice is as a software engineer for a Healthcare / Medical software company.
I completed Undergraduate and Graduate studies in Music and Music Education... a very long time ago.
I enjoy playing music of almost any style as long it is done well and with good people. While I do enjoy getting some enumeration from time to time, I play primarily for the enjoyment of playing good music with good people.

Current Setup
A 1864 Viennese double bass w/ C Extension & an early 90's Carvin six string BG, an AI Clarus head, 2 EA cabs, 2 GK 200MB's from the mid-80's, a LDS custom cab 2x8" w/ mid and tweeter, a 1965 SB12 Ampeg amp.
Favorite Genres
Swing Band / Big Band, Traditional Jazz, some smooth jazz, musical theater, bluegrass, some folk, Early Music ensembles and Orchestral playing esp from the Baroque / Classical periods
Gigs and Ensembles
Several swing bands in the area, bluegrass band, Gypsy Swing ensemble, and numerous music theater groups. In addition my wife (an excellent keyboardist) and I have played and/or led praise and worship teams at our churches over the years. While we still enjoy playing, but we are out of the "leading" side of things these days.
Previously Owned Gear
1962 Kay (which I do miss) / Pedulla Thunderbolt 5 & Thunderbolt 6 / Pedulla PentaBuzz fretless / Warwick FNA Jazzman / G&L 2500 / MIJ Fender Jazz 5 fretless - I miss each of these as each one had it's own voice - but other priorities come up in life - like sending two kids to college - relocating for work - etc... Most missed amp - my Eden World Tour head with Eden 4X10 and 2X10 cabs - I truly loved that sound but my back got tired of moving them ;)
G.A.S. List
Eminence EUB 5 string
Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy the occasional round of golf. Target shooting. Going to the theater. Live music venues.
