BassLines is a 144-page book filled with 28 short chapters where bass Alvin Chea shares insightful reflections about Take 6's 20-year experience told through his eyes. As a founding member of the 10-time, Grammy award-winning a cappella group, Chea shares personal photos, anecdotes and behind-the-scene moments. He writes in an easy-to-follow narrative style.

As you read BassLines, you will feel as if Chea is telling his story directly to you. He states a number of times that, “Success happens when opportunity meets preparation.” It’s evident from reading this book that Take 6's preparation in music as individuals has given each of them overwhelming favor and longevity in this industry. Chea gives a glimpse of each member’s unique personality and nicknames that is guaranteed to give you some laughs.

He describes hilarious stories and adventures of some of the fun times experienced by Take 6 at the beginning of their career. Chea candidly tells us not only some of fun moments but also sad moments experienced in the group's career. There are intimate details about their personal growth, friendship and the brotherhood shared by the group.

Chea emphasizes throughout the book the importance of prayer as well as having faith in God as being a key anchor that has given Take 6 that enduring power through their career. After reading BassLines, you will appreciate the integrity and music ministry of Take 6. Readers will understand why this band of brothers sings and ministers with such a spirit of excellence and conviction - their success is built upon their individual personal relationships with God.

I believe that readers will truly enjoy reading BassLines. Available on Amazon, you can find out more information about BassLines, if you go to www.take6.com/basslines.
