Meet bassist Carla Betz, who has one of the coolest stories we’ve read among the Reader Spotlight submissions.

We first featured bassist Ted “Blyss” Gould back in September, with his all bass cover of the Stylistics tune, “People Make the World Go Round”. It was a hit. Now Ted shares his story in this week’s bassist spotlight. We love how he measures his experience in days, not years (though we’re pretty sure it is out-of-date now. Or will...
