    BONGO 5 Sighting on TV

    hey..this morning (I think on the Today show)...there was a band from Antarctica playing live and the bass player had a beautiful Bongo 5string. It looked liked candy red...anyone know this guy????

    They looked like they were freezing their asses off , but the cameras had a nice long shot with the bass player in there....very cool!!!

    Yup, Frank's right - wrong direction for bears.

    Penguins, maybe.

    And Al Gore, crying.
    So many changes coming in an ordinary bass player's life :
    - New cover band soon
    - New rock band soon
    - New trio soon
    - New bass soon (he he he...)

    Anyway, if Antarctica can afford Al Gore travels, they can afford many Bongos.
