Obligatory New-guy Intro

[LeftyBass]

Hi, Ronn here, been playing bass since 1976(yes, I'm an old fart, will be 50 next year), grew up listening to The Beatles, The Who, and Elton

John. It was EJ's bassist, Dee Murray(RIP) who played on those classic tunes of the 70s and into the 80s who inspired me to take up the bass. In fact I own one of Dee's basses, a Steinberger heard on the tune "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" among others.

Been in many bands over the years, highlights:

The Stiffs, punk band during the late 70s/early 80s.

9 Worlds, 3-piece pop band. I played 12-string bass. We had a CD in shops across the globe(sold very well in Japan), we were very popular with astronauts in Houston and our CD was taken on a shuttle flight.

The Daylight Titans, pop band. Had a song featured in an episode of TV show "Veronica Mars".

The Eggmen, Beatles tribute band. Started as a side-project with friends in 1991, still going strong. Won Best Cover Band at Austin Music Awards 5 times in a row.

My wife and I have a house in the country, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a baby on the way!

I have a nice home studio where I write/record my own tunes.
