Here is a picture showing the NS Design  EUB (Electric Upright Bass) on the percussion stand. The bass can rotate very easily - so that it is out of the way when I play the guitar. Thanks again to Arthur for making this possible. (Arthur Larkan also helped me enormously with the white guitar - in fact I couldn't have built it without him!)



This was taken during a recording session I did for Alan Judd a day or two after the 9/11 attacks.



Here is video for the Nossa Vida Song. One of these days I would like to have it professionally done.



Nossa Vida - Just recorded.

This is a number that I had started composing about 5 years ago and never completed until yesterday.  I thought I would add some pictures of the white guitar although I didn't use it on the recording.



MasQueNada Bamboleo Medley

This is a recording of two great numbers. Keith (my father-in-law) and I perform as Nossa Vida every Friday night at Manuka Restaurant - Steenberg, Cape Town. The white guitar was made by myself and Arthur Larkan - It is based on a similar looking Gibson guitar but differs in many respects. See www.nossavida.co.za for more info.I used the iPad acoustic bass for the bass part.



 



 

The latest addition

The percussion set-up continues to grow. The NS Design EUB has a custom movable attached stand.

 

The bass moves backwards and forwards easily allowing me to change to guitar or percussion within a few seconds.

 

 

Nossa Vida means 'Our Life' in Portuguese.
