Part of the evening was to introduce yourself to all the other musicians at the camp using only your bass. Imagine this: you -- all by yourself -- standing up in front of sixty-one bass players, with luminaries like Steve Bailey, Chuck Rainey, Anthony Wellington standing behind you listening to every note. Add to that Victor Wooten (one of my idols, and I'm sure most of the other campers felt the same way) sitting immediately on your right, and you got what can only be a nerve-wracking experience.
Needless to say, I completely whiffed my entire playing. I tried to do the Arabic groove from Sahara Dance, but I was really nervous. So I rushed, then tried to get myself out of trouble with a simpler groove only to find even more problems.
