Yeah, it's sometimes surprising how that is. I don't know whether it's the andrenaline or what, but after 10-15 mins of playing, injuries that have us wondering if we can make it through the gig, miraculously stop hurting. I've had monster huge blisters that I got from playing upright bass (which I don't do often) burst mid gig and within minutes become painless. Glad to hear you had a good gig.

So, how did your gig go?

Ooooh good Point. And I nearly went for that‘n‘all.....

I thought you might show up here 😉. It struck me as maybe being your kind of thAng. They‘re playing near me soon with the bigband ( I‘m not sure if that includes the DJs. I doubt it somehow. Pity that.). I think I shall pop along for a listen.

I did something very similar some years ago. I taped it up with elastoplast, the smooth type. However, I had maybe from Tuesday to Saturday to heal. It wasn’t my very best performance, but I got through. The superglue idea may well work. I know it‘s sometimes used in emergencies. Don‘t panic, you‘ll make it. Good luck on the weekend.

Thanks for that recommendation, excellent. I skipped around a couple of their videos and landed upon this. I shall be playing it every morning before breakfast for the next while.

A huge loss to music. Soul, soul, soul.. RIP.

The big gloves give it away.

I‘m sorry, I don‘t understand the question.

Presumably it comes with a fitted case.

A buddy of mine experienced almost the exact opposite many years ago. It must have been in the late 70s or early 80s. He was playing with his band in a bar when, in between songs, a guy walks up to the bandstand and says, “OK guys here’s your money. At the end of this set you can pack up and go home I’ve just bought the place”. The new owner didn’t want to have live music.

What, and the invisible bear doesn‘t count? That seems so unfair. 😉

May their next turd be a hedgehog.

We played for a Harley Davidson event some years ago. Did I mention that we‘re a 70s disco band? Under the circumstances it went as well as could be expected. The guys stayed outside at the bar and one or two of the women even danced.

You‘re welcome 😏

Hope it was cash up front. I wouldn’t want to see you getting fleeced.

Ooh yeah, I‘d forgotten about that. I used to listen to that album all the time. What a crackin‘ solo.

You play in a band with Chuck Norris?

What? And no local hands to help? 😉 That, my friend, is quite the dream load-in.

I'm a Brit but speak the lingo. If you ever need any help with translation or communication, feel free to ask. That goes for all BCers of course.

This is true. I live in Germany and often see real bargains. I‘ve thought of mentioning some on BC, but didn‘t want anyone thinking I was associated with the seller. Especially in the, relatively, unlikely event of a transaction going pear-shaped. BTW “Kleinanzeigen” is German for small ads.

Sh1te! ‘ckin’ sh1te!

I find these a really handy space saver when I‘m on public transport. The Markbass bass keeper. https://goo.gl/images/ikujby

Ooooh tempting.....and I don‘t even play keys.

Hwa, hwa, hwa, hwaaaaaAaAA
