A*Funk Well, as fun as it is to play with King Bong, the bar scene isn't everything in this town. I believe Joey Smith is generally considered the expert in the Vic jazz scene.

And who is this McMillan fellow? who does he play with? - Sun, 16 Feb 2003 6:04pm

Anyone mention Paul Ford? Despite him living in Japan right now, I still consider him a Victoria bassist since he's moving back someday... and was here a long long time :)

I've played with him and DAMN was he good! He could zip around on that fretless like no one else... sigh miss that... - Wed, 19 Mar 2003 12:02pm

Sean Ross from Colour out of space, Onionhaus/Mission of Christ and now the Pigments has always been a fav of mine. He and John London are one of the finer "heavy" rhythm sections in the city I'd say. - Fri, 21 Mar 2003 2:46am
