Tony Vahl here. Just wanted to second your mention of Jason Rosner -- what a great bass player! I saw him perform live several times in the 1990's, and I had the privilege of taking guitar lessons from him. He also hooked me up with a great vocal teacher back then, Kay Kramer.
If Jason Rosner happens to read this, feel free to drop me a line at numbersix@dailyskew.com -- I'm sure we've both come a long way since those days at Digistar, running microfiche and microfilm scanners!
Thanks for sharing us. writings
