Brigid's bass adventures (and an ocassional cat)

Thank you for visiting my humble channel. I've never had much of a use for it - other than to save cat videos, until a few weeks ago... I was approached by my music director friend, and founder of Thistle Rose Academy of Arts, suggesting I should take up double bass. I've been playing electric bass for years, and currently in a celtic/classic rock band, Rowdy O'Reilly (shameless plug - we have a YouTube channel also. Check it out ;-)

I've never given it serious thought. It looked too hard (what, no frets!!), and took up too much space. But I'm at the point in my life where I am beginning to actively seek challenges, and started ignoring the voice in my head that has been saying all my life "That's too hard."

So please feel free to join me on my learning journey as I wrestle with this big beast. I encourage everyone to celebrate the things we do badly, because we have nowhere to go but up!
