Sandy and his wife, Heather, were kind enough to give me a lift yesterday. They are pretty wonderful people, who are fairly new to Yarmouth, as in, they weren't here when I was in school. I met them as well from the local music scene. Sandy was working the day I bought my sparkly pink bass and amp, then I started seeing his face around with different groups. My friend Sandy, who is taking guitar lessons from him, introduced us officially at a Chunk of Funk gig and the rest is history.
It is kind of a small world sometimes, how we all have odd ways to connect with other people. As I got to know Sandy and his wife, Heather better, I found out that Heather works in a school as well. It also turned out that they purchased the home of some very, very dear friends of my family, the Colbecks, with whom we would spend every Christmas Eve, until they moved a couple of years ago.
In regards to music, Sandy is a "jack of all trades". He began playing many years ago as a bass player, but seems to have the ability to play any instrument and fit into any style or group. He has a great personality and has a very unique walking style of groove when he plays that is a joy to watch! He currently plays most often with a band called, "Under the Influence" with Steve Berryman and Jeff Allen. Thanks for the pics Sandy!
