Hi guys, just for your amusement ... here's a copy and paste of a funny story I 've been told and reported on TB on Jan 2006...enjoy
PC bass
I heard a story from a friend of mine here in Italy, great international piano player Dado Moroni : he told me that bass was stolen by PC and Doug Watkins from an unattended car...the bass belonged to a symphony player. The bass was somehow shared between PC and Doug Watkins (I guess they were cousins). One night the owner of the bass walked into a jazz club in NYC and saw his instrument in the hands of PC...After the show he introduced himself to PC and, with great surprise, he left the bass to him, saying he had never heard any better stuff coming out of his bass...
It's probably not true of course, but it' s funny to think it might be, for a minute...
