Mad About The Boy - Dina Washington

Width of a Circle - Bowie

Gah, too slow. Brothers in Arms - DS

Oliver's Army - Elvis C

Until moving north in 2020, I played in an ‘80s covers band, so that would be a big yes in answer to the OP. I also played in a Tom Petty tribute, I like his output very much, but it’s not a really a great gig for a bass player, or at least it wasn’t for me.

I’m very, very late to the FNM party and only really aware of what they play on Planet Rock, but I like what I hear.

In France They Kiss on Main Street - Joni Mitchell

Closer - Faith No More. Could be worse, a lot worse. EDIT: Being mostly unfamiliar with the FNM canon, I thought the song in my was entitled Closer. However, having checked online, it seems it’s actually Ashes to Ashes, (the only words I could hear in my head and recall were ‘closer, closer’).

I saw a used Atelier Z Baby JJ located in Japan that I was seriously considering pulling the trigger on and import duty be damned, but I procrastinated too long and someone beat me to the punch. However, this FSR Mustang has caught my eye and I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be happier at Ez Towers.

Return to Sender - Elvis

Given my recent infatuation with short scales, it would be some sort of Mustang, probably with 2 Nordy Big Splits, neck in the normal P position (not the Mustang position) and the bridge one in the MM position (up against the pickguard). Lightweight tuners with an Xtender on the E, 3 over 1 layout. Passive, stacked vol/blend, tone. Mute system with a Hipshot B style, through body bridge. Maple neck and board with pearloid blocks, 38-40mm nut. Finished in trans blue on an ash body, weighing in at 3.5kgs. That or a Wilcock Mullarkey in white and tort, maple neck & board.

Stand & Deliver - Adam & the Ants

Be A Dentist - Steve Martin (Little Shop of Horrors)

Probably, I haven’t heard of him doing much, but no one seems to retire from rock these days. Yep, just checked, he’s touring 22/23.

Ghost are all masons in that case.

Ride My See Saw - Moody Blues

Is this meant to be an unpopular opinion or something else?

You Raise Me Up - Josh Grogan

Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith

I couldn’t possibly comment. But no.

I have what is an unpopular opinion amongst the Rush cognoscenti in that I really like Presto and Roll The Bones.

In My Time Of Dying - LZ

Especially if you can get them to gaffa them their heads like Mooney. Seriously though, none other than the ‘Tone Ranger’, Eric Johnson has been known to wear them on stage where he’s one of the main draws, alongside Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.

Was the ‘grown up’ conversation had? 😂
