    Steve McCartney ~ just call him Mac on Bass
    Steve 'Mac' McCartney is more than just Bill's bass player .. they met in the early 90's, and claims that he knows every song Bill's ever done. He's an accomplished chef .. his homemade spaghetti sauce, prepared fresh over a Coleman stove at Winfield, is just one of his many skills. Since real musicians have day jobs, Mac manages and operates an upholstery business out of his own shop. You can contact him at:  maconbass2@aol.com
