Well, yeah, OK, but other than roads, sanitation, medicine, education, wine , irrigation, public baths and the aquaduct, what have the Romulans ever done for us?

Not a bad way of going about things, but maybe there's a distinction between 'learning songs' and 'learning music'..? I'm a drummer, and spent a long time learning and practising the rudiments of drumming (hours at a time on just snare drum stuff, or syncopation, or tom rolls, or cymbal swells etc...). It then became possible to play almost any 'song', even if I'd never heard it before, or pick up on the 'hook' parts if there was a specific drum part. For what I was doing at the time (variety drumming, and depping...), it was far more useful than songs, and indispensable for creating my own drum parts for original material. There's no 'song' to copy when one is writing the song oneself..!

That should be a doddle, though, shouldn't it..? They're all the same..!

... or maybe just you, me and Lenny entering..? You're sure to be in with a chance then..!

Goodness me, but it's getting so hard to choose between the works, month after month. The quality shown here is formidable, such variety of interpretation and execution. Between half-comic, semi-literal, entirely atmospheric, or musical puns, how to compare..? I'd be tempted to award winner's certificates to all who entered a piece; there's nothing here that doesn't deserve one. It makes me somewhat afraid of continuing to listen to 'em all each month; they're getting so good, I can't favour one over another..! Astonishing Stuff, y'all.

Fixed. ... and ... Sack him and get someone better. Nobody needs to put up with that.

When all done here (but take your time; the pieces are worth it...), you may be interested in voting for the Basschat 2018 Photo Competition, to be found here ... Basschat 2018 Photo Competition, June ... The theme, chosen by Hellzero, was 'The photo you like the most because of the story behind.' Give 'em all a good look; choose the three that best represent the theme, in your view. Thanks in advance

I can see your point, up to a point, but, to me, a JC Epiphone bass is not buying into his mojo, it's simply a wonderful bass (on my bucket list...). It's not the signature that makes it great. If there was an unsigned version, it would be just as good. There's no equivalent, though, with that particular specification (hollow body, low-z pick-up, long scale...). The only real JC connection would be, for me, that without his having played one, I'd maybe never have heard of 'em.

Ha..! That'll suit me fine next year; I'll be 69..!

So when I become famous playing a Jack Casady bass, and get a 'signature' bass of it, Jack will doubtless hear of it and adopt my signature bass (well, he would, wouldn't he..! ). He might then be offered his newer signature bass, based on his version of my version of his version of the Les Paul bass. I may well be tempted to use such a bass, and have a 'signature' offered, and the whole thing keeps going...

This kind of thought can lead to some strange places. It's now common for children to bear the surnames of both their father and mother (a double-barrelled name...). If such a child, when grown up, then marries another with such a name, do their children bear four-barrelled names..? And if their children then grow up and marry... etc. I'd not pursue the issue too far, if I were you; that way, madness lies.

Who said 'Half-pint'..? Come on, own up... You're not leaving until the culprit is found. I don't mind; I've got all the time in the world... ... ...

Not 'crazier'; broken. ... ...

I'll be ordering one of these tomorrow (hang the expense..!) if this is what is delivered..!

Good afternoon, Keith, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Sorry, we're fresh out. We've plenty of scatology, though; will that do..?

Mis-typed, maybe..? Should read 'Low Fuzz'.

Good afternoon, Greg , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
