Hello from LA!!! I just wanted to leave a quick post to let everyone and anyone who keeps up with this site know that I arrived safely in LA and am getting geared up to commence studies at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood.

Here is a short home video of me playing along with Teen Town by Weather Report. The bass line in Teen Town was played by the legendary Jaco Pastorius, who was a pioneer on bass in his time, and in our time. He was and is arguably the best bassist in the world. Something that is really interesting about this song is that the melody of the tune is played with the bass, which is a very different thing to do in the musical world..

Cheers,

-Kaitie

LA Bound.

Greetings students, parents, fellow musicians and friends,

I am off to LA to attend the Musicians Institute for bass guitar. I will continue teaching lessons in LA, but am finished teaching in Victoria for the time being.

If you’re in LA, and looking for lessons, shoot me an email!!

Bye for now, Victoria folks!

Devil’s Washbasin

Kaitie — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 06:10:35 +0000

Kootenay Collection

Resurrecting a collection of original songs written in Nelson BC by a group of talented and enthusiastic musicians in the mid 70’s, the project’s fearless leader, singer, song writer, harpest, and keyboardist David Sly, renews the deep passion of the 70’s as he uses his musical and marketing expertise to re issue these ingenious tunes.

When you mix colors of Haight Asbury, Venice Beach, Gas Town, samplings from Hog Town, Bangkok and Chicago, blend them with Canadiana and the splendor of BC and the essence of Vancouver Island, what you get is the
Devil’s Washbasin

Original Classic Rock

Kaitie Sly, Gus Verstraten, Lonny Koch, David Sly

The original band, headed up by lyricist and visionary 6’8 inch Melvin Jack, with brother Craig, Randy Bolger, David Sly, Bobby Stewart and Rick Nash. The later two members have since passed away and thus this compilation is dedicated to them.

Finally! Shows!
