I just checked this site out the other day – worth a luck, especially if you are a MarloweDK fan (and really, who isn’t?).

Interview: David Pelletier – Cirque du Soleil bassist
David Pelletier is the bassist for the Circque du Soleil show “Mystere”. This interview took place around August, 2009. Interestingly, I went to Vegas in June of 2009 and my lovely wife and I went to see Mystere. From the tone and visual style of the bass, I knew that David was playing an F Bass. So I gave my card to the stage manager and asked him to have David contact me. He was gracious enough (and probably curious enough) to contact me, and agreed to this interview.
FretSpot: Performing nightly with CDS must be an interesting experience. How did you get that gig?

Why I Play Bass…
So I mentioned in the last post that I would have to tell you about why I started playing bass in the first place. We all have a story of why we started playing bass. Some of us started on accident – maybe we were in a band with too many guitar players and not enough bass players, and since we were the only one that was humble, we agreed to play bass. :D

Deep Thoughts – 1st Post!
Do you enjoy watching shows like “How It’s Made” or other shows that explain how a business was formed? There is a great show on NPR called “From Scratch” where they interview entrepreneurs to find out why they started the business, challenges they’ve faced, etc, and I’ve always found that show, and others like it, fascinating. Well, with that idea in mind, I thought I would explain how FretSpot.com came to be. Now, obviously this little business of mine isn’t big enough to be featured on one of these national shows, but for bass enthusiasts you might find it interesting. At the very least if you read this, you might realize that actually I’m pretty much just like you (well, except I get my basses at cost ;-) ).
