Chris West Blog – Europe and Motown

Hello all,

I’ve returned from Europe. I was very fortunate to hit a few new countries on this trip (Holland and England), as well as visit a few countries which we’ve played in before (Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland.) I made several new friends and even ran into some old friends. And although I had a great time, I’m glad to be home. I’ve spent the past week playing catch up from being gone, as well as getting charts together for my next studio session this week, as well as for my performance at Windows off the Cumberland on Wednesday.

I had the honor to play with Motown’s own Bob Babbitt. He was the house bass player for Motown after James Jamerson and is the bass player on several Motown classics. We played a benefit in Hendersonville this past Saturday night. I had a great time and hope I’m fortunate enough to get to play with this group some more.

I hope everyone is well and look forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday, December 10, 2008 at Windows Off the Cumberland (check my Calendar for more details).

Chris
