Kirk Lord Bass and Vocals

About Kirk:

My first experience with music was listening to my Mom and Dad's record collection,

a variety of L.P.'s ranging from The Kingston Trio, Al Hurt, and Elvis Presley to Miles Davis and

Johnny Cash. At the tender age of 15 I bought an electric guitar and strung it with bass guitar strings,

because my brother who played guitar needed a bass player. I played electric bass in various garage

bands through out High School until I met Bob ( who lived up the Street ) who asked me to play

upright Bass in an early incarnation of the Vermont based Bluegrass band, The Lost Posse.

I played in that band for about four years, until I was asked to join an electric original band called Hell Toupee.

Another stint with electric music ensued. One day Bob recommended me to a friend who was looking to

fill an Upright Bass slot in a local Rockabilly band, Buck and the Black Cats. After playing and recording

with the Black Cats for five years, the band finally ran it's course. Another call from Bob and I was playing

acoustic bass with some of the finest Bluegrass acoustic pickers in the Northeast.....
