Nr. 18 – Rhonda Smith

Rhonda Smith is bass player in her own band called Karma Deuce. But she might be even more known for serving as bass player for Prince. I don’t know… that might depend on who you ask. If someone would ask you now, you would have two examples of her success as a musician. But why is she cool? I know I said this wouldn’t be a cool-by-association-list, so I’ll try to phrase this right, but she has played with Prince. That alone is cool. Not just because it’s Prince, but rather the fact that if you get to play with Prince you’ve got to be a really good musician. At least that’s what my prejudices tell me. Not only is she a good musician, she looks cool in that hat and suite.
