| NAMM Show |
|
The N.A.M.M. Show is a yearly convention where Music store owners and their staff view music products to purchase for
the year. We also watch great artist demonstrate instruments and are surrounded by 65,000 musicians for the largest trade
show in the world right here in Anaheim, California. Our Vice-President Micaela is the marching Bass player for the
Opening Band. See a few of our highlights from this past years we have attended.

The Basses were loaded in 2002 with meeting Nathan East, John Pattatucci and Van Halen’s
Michael Anthony. Keeping the beat with Mica was Techno Artist, DJ Uncle Noah from Abduction
Productions. Check out his new Socal-Raves Compilation CD in our Online Store. Any of you
who were lucky to pass through the Hilton Lobby, were mesmerized by the flamenco style sound
of Luna Loka’s Roma Music featuring Daniello
De Laurentiis this is a firey CD that everyone should own!

In 1999, A & D Music's vice president, Micaela Davis was the first marching bass player to open the world's largest music trade show at the Los
Angeles Convention Center along with the 75 piece Ferdinand L. Petiot Band under the direction of Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (Doobie Bros.
Steely Dan, Blues Bros). Mica was sponsored by Fender using a Jazz Bass and by Pignose using a Hog 30 battery operated amp. Mica started their
jammin' after rehearsal and everyone had to jump in including "Skunk" Baxter!
In 2001 Big Bird led the way. In 2002 past President Larry Linkin and Elmo from Sesame Street marched this Band into Stardom under the guiding eye of new President Joe Lamond.
