    A Question for All You Island Bass Players

    Just curious if any of you know (or know of) bass player Steve York. Originally from London, he has been performing since the 60's. I bump into him occasionally at our favorite beach bar, when I'm staying in Puerto Vallarta. He and his wife Lisa often play gigs around town. Anyway, just a curious question.

    Over the years, Steve has performed and/or recorded with many of the big-name artists of the U.K. and U.S. ( http://www.steveyork.com/biography.htm )

    Hint: He is the white guy in this photo. :)

    Yes, I remember him. I was a music dork and soundman for a few bands in the Minneapolis area, Steve was sought after. He did a lot of work with Bruce McCabe. He's a damn good player, and very versatile.

    Never worked for any of the gigs he played in. But I sure enjoyed them.

    Wow, a small world! I remember Steve saying that they moved to Puerto Vallarta, from Minneapolis.

    Pretty cool. The Minneapolis Music Scene was/is vibrant and wonderful.

    I love living in Colorado, but miss the amazing music from the "homeland".

    I've heard of Bruce McCabe. I wonder why I have never heard of someone with those credentials. I have not gotten too far away from the ohio music scene.

    I saw Bruce the most with Lamont Cranston. OMG, what a great band!

    It just wouldn't be a drive down Route 66 without seeing BNSF locos in War Bonnet livery with a half repainted Santa Fe leftover behind them!
