hey Kenn
Just wondering if you might be interested in doing some recording with
me.I am currently writing for a new record and could use a great bass
player.If you have a home studio we could easily work together,thats how I
do the drums.I use a cat in Mass. and I send him rough mp3s of the tune and
he records his parts and then emails them as mp3 for my approval,if I dig
it then he snail mails me a cd with the wav file.Takes to long to up/down
load wavs.Anyway if you are interested let me know,check out my page to get
an idea what I do(although the new stuff is much better)If you are down for
it I can send you a tune with my basic bass track so you can get an idea
where I am headed and then send you the same tune minus the bass and you
can go wild.Then you could just email me the rouggh mix so I could check it
out.
Anyway let me know

name is Shawn Needham so I am easy to find
