News from the land of the Rat

2 news items worhty of note...

WMNF Radio in Tampa, a public radio, has contacted me and want to do a feature on my music.How cool and bizarre is that? I am sending them a CD and if all goes well the show will air this Sunday night.They want to feature my stuff on a show called "Outside the Box" and ,on a later date, on a show called "Two Worlds" which feature Native American musicians.I will keep ya posted!

And....

I got a new bass! Yeah! It's a Squire Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz and it's based on the late great bassist Jaco Pastorious' own Fender Jazz bass which he modified by tearing out the frets and coating the neck with Epoxy.All you musos know that the Squire line is made by Fender and has had the bad rap of being tagged as the "poor man's Fender". Well, let me tell ya,this bass is a monster! It plays fantastic,sounds killer,and looks the bizniz! It has been getting rave reviews (a 5 out of 5 from Bass Player Magazine) and I have been drooling over this for the better part of the past year or so. I am happy to own it and can't wait to play it live.
I have attached a pic.

That's all folks!

Love and miss you all!
Juan
