Basschat Member Shame

[seashell]

An eminent BC member rocks up to my local Blues Jam last night. He gets up and plays a couple with the regulars. Then HE ASKS to do Mustang Sally!!

I think he should now be given the opportunity to come along here and explain himself. And to beg forgiveness from the BC collective

[Trueno]

We definitely need to hear the other side of the story. Maybe we could forgive him if he played it with the necessary heft.

[Japhet]

Did he use a music stand?

[thebrig]

And did he get some girlies up on stage to sing the chorus?

Was it a metal version!!

Just for the record, it wasn't me, OK?

There is an impostor among us

I like playing, and have often sung, Mustang Sally. It wasn't me, but if it had been, I would feel no shame.

[markstuk]

Perhaps he played it ironically?

[Fozza]

Burn the heretic!

I hope you stopped them before they went on to do Brown Eyed Girl and Sweet Home Alabama!!

Hey, if pretty girls get up to dance, who am I to say them nay? Follow this with Hoochi Coochi Man!

[TimR]

I bet he didn't even get paid!

I love playing Mustang for this very reason... a challenge in playing the most inappropriate bass possible.

[Barking Spiders]

I dont think he needs anything more than a couple of hours in the stocks. Sex on Fire on the other hand warrants a sound flogging with the cat

Don't worry, someone else had already done that! :-)

I've shared this before, but it still makes me chuckle, so worth a repeat....

Many moons ago my band played a corporate gig at a very sw***y London hotel. The room was an immense space and there were several hundred guests who were dining at these large round tables, which during sound check, were set out beautifully. Full silver service, lovely centre pieces on each table and individual place settings. No expense spared. It had been a particularly early load in and during set up our old singer had wandered around looking at the place settings. Stage time was quite late and as such the singer had sunk quite a few beers by then. In a gap between songs, he starts a dedication to a particular lady at a table in our audience. We look around at each other a little befuddled not thinking he knew anyone at the gig. Once he'd connected with Mrs.Whateverhernamewas on Table 14, he then leads us into the aforementioned song with 'so this one's for Mrs.X 'cos your first name's Sally and you look like a horse - 2,3,4'. I'm not quite sure how we made it through the song.

Does the swear checker really get triggered by sw***y?

Edit - Blimey! It does!

I've been told Mustang Sally is on the list for tonight's gig.

Like Duke Ellington said; “A problem is a chance for you to do your best.”

Didn't he go on to say: "... or go down like a lead balloon"?
