Just in from Peter Rofé, doublebass of the Los Angeles Philharmonic:

My roots as a bass player go back to playing electric bass in garage bands, so during the pandemic, I’ve revisited the tunes of my youth. I deconstructed some classics, covering both the bass and guitar parts…while attempting to sing as well. Plug in some headphones and give it a listen, and stay tuned for some Beatles songs. Filmed by my son Ike Rofé.
