I really like the music of the British American rock group "Stray Cats." They tried to capture the spirit of 1950's rock and roll and did a great job of it. Their band used an upright string bass, like the great old rock groups of old, and the string bass has acoustic qualities that the electric bass has never been able to equal. Here's my group where I try out my string bass on "Stray Cat Strut." We were pleased with the result.
The video was captured using a Canon hand held camcorder, so the acoustics are not perfect by any means. Our keyboard player Kenny sings and does a surprisingly good job, I think. Are we feminists or not? Our lead guitar player is a woman, Lorraine, and she is "better than sex" on guitar. Great riffs!
