I'm gonna add a couple, but when a band or musician TOTALLY TRANSFORMS a song you gotta give props so yeah, Jimi's version of Watchtower and Yes's version of America (and our boy Chris rips the snot into it) BTW, when asked about Jimi covering his songs, Dylan said he was suprised he hadn't done more, "they were all his anyway". My pics. Isley Bros.- Summer Breeze -Seals&Crofts. (I Know I'm) Losing You - Rare Earth Extended LP version w/ Killer guitar solo

Seven Steps to Heaven - Miles Davis

I have a smartphone. That I hate. I picked up a refurbished laptop for about $250 US. And I have Audacity installed, though I might go for Reaper. Tiny screens are tiny.

A joke. Gosh, you Brits. An American can't even get a Canadian Joke in edge-wise.

I really like Neil Young. Sometimes. Glad I read all 4 pages because I was unaware he played with the Bluesbreakers.

Beyond the Bass Clef - Tony Levin (of course I'm gonna mention T.L.)

So she just passed away at the tender age of 107. Neato kit, there. And a dancing conductor

Blood On The Rooftops - Steve Hackett

But, yeah...I DON'T DECIDE. It's in the brain wiring for me. ("This Is Your Brain On Music" - Dan Levitin -). And at 62 I really have a hard time with stuff I used to enjoy. Don't know why...I'm bored easily these days. And yet there's stuff I can listen to FOREVER. OVER AND OVER. And I love my own music on Stick even if it's boring to anyone and everyone else. I have no filter for my own music. Maybe Dan Levitin needs to write another book.

I think that might be what us Yanks call "hipsters". I hope so. I like it. And yeah, any man-bunners out there, please take your uekelele and go home

What's the connection with saxes and bassists? I played the trombone! I mean, I could be loud and obnoxious without an amp, I get that. But at least I already read bass clef. And I'm not TRYING to be cheeky, just wondering...

Opened for Percy's Stone Tiger@ The Showplace Dover NJ it was a receptive crowd for our brand of odd contemporary music. Percy was a nice bloke. I was playing Precision fretless at the time and sounded like I was influenced by him, but when Unorthodox Behaviour came out, our keyboardist said, "Hey, this sounds like you." (I sounded like Jah Wobble too)

"Honk" is the sound of all youse bass players going on about it...

What's the point in that?

I'm waiting for the D'Addario competition. I have my scruples

I picked up this beautiful Squier Affinity Strat on my birthday a couple of years ago at a pawn shop for $60US. Burgundy. Immaculate. I wanted 5 springs on the whammy bar, picked two up@ my fav guitar shop went home took the back plate off and promptly scratched the back with an errant screwdriver. Does this count?

Al Greene makes my knees weak

It's gotta match my outfit and the beer I'm drinking.

Nothing about the post or the playing, but was reminded of ONE of my favourite quotes from This Is Spinal Tap: "There's such a fine line between 'stupid' and 'clever'."

Wrong Tall Sally (couldn't help myself)

No one was asking for pop covers? I'm suprised (and encouraged) I checked out your site. Nice.

Wow I never thought of that thanks guys!

You sound like Robert Fripp! (to a yank). We try not to exchange, but my g.f. does spring for the occasional set of Stick strings ($66US) and she hand-painted a guitar strap for the pawnshop Squire Strat I picked up on my birthday a few years ago. Anyway we're telling the nieces and nephews Santa didn't make it thru the first wave of COVID...

Dual Bass Reciprocal 12 strings on the Stick is fine for me. Some for this hand, some for that hand. All reachable with either hand. HooYaa

Ah there are so many gems. Hafta give the Captain some: Standing there bubblin' like an open cola in the sun Back is achin', work is never done She's swingin' a sponge on the end of a string Right on the brink She spills the ink Down the sink. She's. Not. Bad. She's just genetically mean. Don't you wish you never met her Dirty. Blue. Gene. Don Van Vliet
