Hey guys

We have another convert. Will Turpin of Collective Soul is touring North America with his new Buttercreame Bongo 5. Will is the original bassist for the group, who got their start in the Mid 90's. Will is a long time MM fan and confirmed bongo lover. Here is a jpeg from a live show in Hamilton Ontario Canada from May 10th.

Hey, it's a member of the Travelin' Dingleberries!

You home, Derek?

What's the configuration on that Bongo? Hard to see it in the photo.

Wow pretty Cool. Is that Sapphire with a tortoise guard? I bet Darg talked you into that one.

Will is playing a B-5 HS

That's my original Sapphire that came with...lemme think....black ice? Then I went with a white pearloid until Jason (bassmonkee) and I did a trade that ended with the tort guard on Old Faithful.

I try to stay away from Darg - he's been a very bad influence on me, Derek.

Well....bad on my checkbook, anyway.

Jon, let's see that shirt, man!

Just when I thought BP couldn't get any cooler:D:D Sorry Jack, but the fact that he's poking fun at Lord Bov himself is just too cool to pass on.
