Tony Markellis, bass player for loads of people on over a hundred albums and tours, most notably for me with the Trey Anastasio Band. Rather like Robert Fripp, he chose to sit down to play his instrument.

Before you continue fouling this solemn thread with more political quackery: It was George Bush Sr. not Ronald Reagan.
