    That bass waited nearly 40 years to be played by Mr. Experience. It was worth the wait.

    Donny, you don't just create music, you also create a little bubble-universe all your own into which you invite us to step so that we can really experience and get a sense of what you're trying to achieve through this wonderful artistic project of your. Mr Experience is quite a clever title. Much respect to you, kind Sir. You are an amazing Artist.

    Aw no, I'm one of the guilty ones - I played Konichiwa as part of a bass demo video, and I got one of notes wrong! Bummer 😞, should've listened more closely. Thanks Donny for showing us the right way to play it!
    This is seriously the best tone I've ever heard from a Ken Smith. Such a terrific sound 👌
