Scott Spinella- My Music Carrier Check out Scott Spinella band page http://www.myspace.com/standin8count. Scott Spinella and Jake Sylvestor started Standin 8 Count in 2002. I started playing guitar when i was 14. I played bass guitar in high school with a band in Dover, Delaware. We had*2 guitar players and no bass player, so we flipped a coin and I became the bass player. You think flipping a coin would be 50/50 odds but for some reason I always lose the coin flips even in poker.
