My recent classic rock group called Whatever has folded after 11 years.  I now play in a jazz trio, 
Step 3 as well as jam with several musicians in blues and rock formats.
I also like to play classical pieces, primarily Bach, which I primarily use my Pedulla for. 
I rarely use my Kaman now. However, the song below uses 3 of my basses, my effects units, 
and a simple keyboard drum patch.  This piece, Heavy Metal, is on the 4th Bottom Line 
compilation, The Bassment Chronicles (Click on song title to hear/download mp3 version).
This is available through Edwin Hurwitz, who produces the Bottom Line compilations.
My music is also available on ReverbNation, Facebook, MySpace, and YouTube.
I also have a self produced CD, titled The Robert Black Collection, which includes 
Heavy Metal, and Octavius, Gregory, which are just bass and PC, 
and G maj7 Harmony which is 2 bass parts and drum machine.
This can be obtained from me via contacting me by email at the address below.
