Scott and I are here with the legendary John Button who plays bass in The Who.

And he has also played bass for Cheryl Crow, among many others.

We actually just got done shooting an awesome episode of Behind the Baseline for YouTube.

And now you are here on SBL checking out an exclusive piece of content John Button

talking about the baselines that made me, not me, but the baselines that made him, right?

And before we even like fired it up, I was like, oh, we've got to start recording you guys

because we're just talking. John is a lovely human. We can just talk for

hours and like, no, we got to get this on, we got to get this on camera for actually the good people, the members at SPL. And John was speaking about like, you know, growing up where he grew up and that there was a lack of shows there. And so I'm going to hand it over to you, Mr. John Button. and we want the story of how you came up,

how you got into the base,
