Tom Capasso

Name: Tom Capasso

Instrument: Bass Guitar, Vocals, Recorder

Musical Influences:
Ann D’Amico - grade school music teacher
Jim, Rob, and Ray Meade - musical cousins – Jim plays bass and was an inspiration.  Rob plays guitar (professionally since we were teens) and Ray messes around on drums.  Rob, Ray and I spent many an afternoon recording music on a reel-to-reel tape recorder.
The Beatles, The Byrds, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Cactus, The Who, Elvis Costello - the bass players with those folks were all key to my musical development.
