"Fields of Gold" by Sting - The Verbas

"You'll remember me when the west wind moves among the fields of barley..."

Eva Cassidy was a Washington DC vocalist and instrumentalist whom a British newspaper called "one of the greatest voices of her generation."

When she died of melanoma, at age 33 in 1996, she was virtually unknown outside of the DC area. Since then her albums have sold over four million copies.

This is one of our favorite songs that she performed.

Katie asked to try her hand at piano.

Naomi again sits in on bass.

Hi. Please could you reply and tell me which bass guitar was being used, please?

[TheVerbas]

@mc85eu Yep...an Ashbory bass, with silicon strings. Find them at: largesound (dot) com

[mc85eu]

@TheVerbas Thank you. I am in your debt.

[TheVerbas]

@mc85eu No problem at all. And they're only around $300 American. Which is about the same price as the black Gretsch you see in some videos. The purple Ibenez was around $179, I think. Those two are both shortscale, but not as short as the Ashbory.

Have fun working with the kids there.

[TheVerbas]

[jackels001]

very nice song!

[mc85eu]

Yes, I looked them up. $247, but I don't know how much extra it would be to get it shipped to the UK. Anyway, thanks for your advice.

[MutualDreamNetwork]

This is hella sweet, to put it mildly.

I love The Verbas.

[TheVerbas]

Meh, I've run into that too, you could try replacing the . with "DOT" like websiteDOTcom, or you could send a personal message instead of a comment :D
