A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up.
After moving to England I did some recording and eventually formed an English band, this was together for quite a few years with only a keyboard replacement. The band had no name, just my name.
As far as more recognition goes, I am happy with the amount of love and respect I have received from other artists and the public. Of course, I would love more, and think I deserve it.
Basically I like good music - melody, or on the other end something I can get up and dance to.
Between 1980 and 1990, I was very busy doing all of these things - lots of TV shows.
I also have a big love of classical music played on piano because this is the environment I grew up in my brother being one of the great masters in this world.
I am about to start my own radio show on the BBC, beginning January 1999, to run for 13 weeks every Saturday night at 9 pm.
I am an old fashioned bass player and believe that the point of the bass is to be the musical note of the bass drum.
I am busy touring all over Europe, Japan, and Australia.
I am flattered to have been the woman to have opened the door for female rockers to be accepted into the mainly male industry.
I began playing with my thumb only, never could get a pick together - too delicate.
I had my own talk show for a year nationwide in the UK and appeared on lots of quiz shows of which I am an aficionado.
I have record approximately 10 studio albums. I had 16 top ten singles and sold in excess of 45 million records all over the world.
I have recorded nine tracks for a new album which I financed myself and am looking for a home for.
I like a 5 string bass - it gives you some interesting options. I played one a few times on stage. There was no problem... I was real natural.
I now have the band of my dreams and am able to do (besides rock and roll) more musical material. I play piano and drums, which were part of my training as a musician.
I read and write classical piano and percussion, also guitar.
I was born in Detroit in 1950 and I started played bass at the age of 14, after seeing The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Joan was one of my biggest fans, as was Chrissie Hynde.
Len and I had parted musical ways and this was one of the problems.
My feet never touched the ground. Lots of good groups with crazy and unique images. It was wild. I spent all of my time doing gigs, TV appearances, interviews, or recording. I could write a book - and probably will.
Rock and roll mainly but I can play passable jazz also.
The bass player's function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car... everything else is merely colours.
The Pleasure Seekers eventually turned into Cradle, when we started writing our own material. My younger sister Nancy was brought in as singer and I kind of stepped aside as main lead singer and concentrated on my instrument.
The two best shows I ever saw, can't pick between them - Don McLean on his own with his guitar and also - Wayne Newton in Las Vegas.
Then my own TV chat show in England in 1989.
