Bassic Spirit

when not playing bass, fishing is great

I'm Barney Longacre, Bassplayer since April 2004

Welcome to the Bassic Spirit page. My love for music of all kinds, lead me to the Bass. I have played Flamenco guitar for over 5 years but my introduction to the Bass came during a Jam session with a rock band. Later that week I was at Barnes and Noble and decided to browse through the music section while my fanclub played with the trains in the 'Thomas The Tank Engine' section. Well folks ....that was all it took, one brief glance through 'Bass Guitar for Dummies' and the charm wit and humor stole my flamenco heart away and I fell madly in love with the bass. Any way all the Bass to you my Bass brothers and Sisters.

Love for the Music

My Musical Tastes are constanty evolving , Since starting to play bass, I'm more interested in Jazz, especially the Latin. Evidently music is a gift from The Almighty and He has left his telltale fingerprints and beauty all over its structure,purpose, and spirit. I know it is His desire for us all to enjoy beautiful music.
