Bassist who enjoyed a thirty-year career as a
session musician, recording with Tony Bennett, John
Lennon
, and Barbra Streisand. A pair of '70s albums he
appeared on are Joe Farrell's 1978 release, Night Dancing, and Frank
Sinatra's 1979 boxed set, Trilogy. He has also enjoyed an approximately
forty-year career as a stringed-instrument repairer and restorer. About ten of those years were spent
learning the trade at Robertson & Sons in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Since then, he and his son Geoffrey
have opened their own violin shop, where they give basses, cellos, violas
and violins the full-service treatment. If you stop in the Daugherty Violin
Shop in Eureka, California, you can also buy or rent stringed
instruments. Photography is
also a key function of their business.
