    GPN's new bass player is...

    Michael Libramento - at least that's the buzz on Twitter.

    Twitter doesn't lie, does it?

    Please explain the link to the ancient MySpace page because anytime I click on it my head starts to hurt.

    Thank you in advance.

    Good that kc pointed out the MySpace link, I missed it before (thanks, tfn).

    The music sounds better on my computer than it did on the phone. He does have a good voice.

    These photos cut to the chase:
    --> Gear <--




    And these:
    --> Playing <--




    There are eight sets of pictures.


    A couple singles I like – this the cutest (a young Michael?):

    Libramento obviously enjoys all kinds of music, as long as it's soulful. He loves improvisation, but he's no jazz snob. "I enjoy when chance is involved," he explains. "I like craftsmanship and wisdom in music making. Communication is important. I'm a big believer in the power of texture and tone. People enjoy the music they do because of its texture, whether sonically, harmonically, rhythmically, even lyrically. I don't think it's a genre thing. To me it's all the same. The most important thing is honesty. Dishonest music is a waste of everyone's time."

    [Michael tours with the band Floating Action. Seth Kauffman, who writes, sings, plays, records, and produces Floating Action's music, collaborated on Benny Yurko's upcoming CD. So this may be just a temporary thing, but I hope not - think he would be a good addition.]
