Hey Shamus,

I've heard her name....what's her playing like?

BTW, that was some nice playing you did at the Friday night jam.

I've seen her with Bowie a couple of times on video, and she just lays it down...kind of an old-school approach, if I remember right.

She has a website ( http://www.gailanndorsey.com/ ) that I'll check out after I'm done here.

And, thanks for the compliment! John and Tommy (and Mike) made it very easy for me!
 
that lefty on leno played one, well atleast once... dont really watch the show, just heard about it
 
Do not forget about Collective Soul's Will Turpin, Celine Dion's Marc Longes, Brad From ShineDown and a New Country performer Keith Anderson's bassist.

I spoke with Pino Palladino the other night and he is still thrilled with his bongo that we sent when he was touring with the WHO.

That lefty is Stan Sargeant...One bad MOFO on the bass. One of the best in the business.
