| Greetings all!! I am Da Funky Bassist, and I hope that you support Live Music in your town. Mucho props to my wife Gayle for supporting my music career. It means a lot to have her support!... 143 Mrs. Web... Originally from Dayton, Ohio I been living in the Los Angeles area since 1983. My personal band is Cross-Town Traffic, but I will play my bass for hire in various other projects when I get the call.

Thanks for making CTT a slammin' unit. ****** To "ACTUALLY HEAR" me playing bass go to the Cross Town Traffic in my friends list. No studio tricks, just some slammin' live tracks so you can feel the beat N groove.

Two of my proudest moments are in 1983 when I first relocated to Los Angeles, my band Record Player at the LA Street scene downtown on Temple Street with 3 Dog Night, and Stevie Wonder. Also we did an audition at the Playboy club before it closed down in Century City. We started playing Prince's 1999 for soundcheck, and all the Bunnies ran out the dressing room to see us rehearse. That was fun!! Recently my band CTT played at my Wedding reception, and the band threw it down!!*S* *** I have a childhood friend from Dayton who is plays regularly in Las Vegas. His name is Tresure (Mark Brown), who holds down as the lead vocalist for "In-Effect". Tresure has great dance moves, and can sing just about anything out there. I am real PROUD of my Dayton homie.
