    Brilliant interview, always wonderful to see female basses making it in the world, not that I'm being bias as it sounds like my family, well my aunties, in Donegal 😊

    Tanya, You are a GREAT bassist. As a Berklee Alumni who has played the spectrum of musical genres, You Have It! You’re not just a hot gorgeous bass player. Your CHOPS are there. Keep honing them.

    Great interview, -- I watched it the day it came out, and it's had me thinking ever since...
    On Being More Than A Musician: I think it was Oscar Wilde that said something like, "Rather than being a Noun, I prefer to be Verbing". I've done, and can do a lot of things; and while I love learning music and practicing the bass, and I might someday play with a garage band in some dive bar -- I don't know if I'd ever call myself a bassist. But over the years more than a few people have remarked, "you remind me of a roadie"... And now all I can think about is, -- Where Is THAT Bar!?!

    She's the new bassist for Whitesnake. The first female to ever join the band.

    Sadowsky Basses made in NYC. The Rock Music scene in Los Angeles died 5+ years ago. In NYC, the Rock Music scene died decades ago (moved to LA). Of course, if you are a prodigy on Bass like Tanya O' Callaghan, you can do a lot of studio sessions in Hollywood. But record labels only want Pop Princesses and big RAP Artists who can make them $$$$$$. London and Nashville are still the Music Meccas, where great artists can succeed. LA is more of a retirement community for aging Rock Stars. Music for films and TV is still a great gig in Hollywood, but you can't get famous and rich doing that.
    Tanya O' Callaghan reminds me so much of Dilana who used to be based in LA, but is in Europe now. #SistersinRock
