Spalted maple back has so much going on...and the #bullet ! Lower right side...completely encased...the tree grew right around it! How old do you think that round is? was it a #Musket? This tree was growing in the dense forest of the #Pacific North West! The bullet wasn’t going fast enough to leave a path...it just hit the tree and stopped...and the tree grew around it. What’s your guess on how old that bullet is?
Hi, I’m Gary Upton...so...I’ve been doing this thing, playing guitar and piano writing songs. And I’ve been searching for the right bass player...while I fumble trying to play guitar chords. And then it hit me (and yeah I bet it was obvious for you) I’ll play bass and lead vocal. Ummm easier said than done, now we know why so few do this and those that do are badass. Ok, maybe I’m getting the hang of this. Let me tell you the chordal element of guitar and piano and how it rhythmically works with the voice...is nothing like the bass. Playing in-tune, singing well and in-tune, while playing bass, solid bass, and I’m talking not backup vocals but out front vocals. I like this challenge. This is gonna be a fun journey. #doublebass #madeinusa #singersongwriter follow me over at @itsgaryupton and checkout some of the tunes. I’ve got 4 new ones I’m working on for an April 1st drop, funny how new work makes you look at old stuff and think...wait I did that. Eric (@montagnana) and I are always looking back at the #old #uptonbass stuff...thinking damn look how far we have come.
