Dapo jams out at the Big Fish Audio booth at NAMM on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2009! For those who haven’t seen him perform live, this one’s for you!

When Legendary Bassist, Bill “The Buddah” Dickens stops by the Big Fish Audio booth the next day (Sunday, Jan. 18, 2009), it’s a no-brainer that Dapo and Bill will dive head first into a jam session. Only one problem, remember to bring extra batteries next time! The camera died at the end.
