You could hear a buzz in the audience as Cesar introduced the horn at the beginning of the song. The fact that our band was not using a drum kit really allowed the sound of the bass to come through.
The photo on the right, was taken by New Brunswick photographer, Brian Atkinson, during our evening performance at the Cultural Expressions Festival in Officer's Square in downtown Fredericton.
Almost a year to the day Brian took the above photo, a photographer for the provincial paper took the first picture (that I got to see) of me actually playing the bass in public. I was very surprised to see it on the front page of the provincial newspaper in full colour.
Check here to see a video of our performance at a Fredericton church during a fund raiser on February 6, 2004. We were asked to play at the last minute, so it was an acoustic performance. You'll hear how great the acoustics are in the church, even without a microphone, the sax and percussion are easy to hear. Sadly, there was also no extra lighting, so the video isn't what it could be, but you get the idea.
