Ms Twelvetrees can supply the list of appropriate felts, along with the requisite forms for felting. Feltham..? I used to live very near Feltha... Oh, sorry. Felting. My mistake; as you were.

Grahambythesea Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 If the general public are over 40 they might know Macca. Under 40 they think music is generated by machines and no of no one who operates them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorkie635 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Just asked Mrs S. Her 10 were: Paul McCartney Jack Bruce Charlie Mingus Flea Mark King John Entwistle Nico Bruce Lee Sklar Jaco Pastorius Pino Palladino Seems impressive, but fails to record such comment as: "Some woman with glasses, who looks like a geek. Her name is Carol somebody" (Carol Kay) "The guy with the beard in ZZ Top whose name isn't Beard, because he doesn't have a beard and he plays the drums." (Dusty Hill) "The really old one in the documentary in New York, who teaches everybody." (Ron Carter) "The one whose name sounds like a pizza." (John Patitucci) "Him who keeps marrying thirteen year olds". (Bill Wyman) "The one who looks like a Malteser." (Tony Levin) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 (edited) Mrs_5 has contributed ‘that guy from Primus is the lead singer and bassist, and I know that’s quite unusual’, ‘George Harrison - was he the bass player in the Beatles?’ Not looking good is it? 😄 After some gentle prompting we got to ‘Les Claypool’ Edited September 28 by paul_5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 General public? Paul McCartney Susi Quattro Possibly Bill Wyman Flea perhaps ........ err, that's it. Much as bass players might dote on Jaco Pastorius (I don't), the general public would not a have clue who he was, and would probably think you were talking about the fella that shot his girlfriend through the bathroom door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had strings he called it a banjo ... 'are you playing your banjo tonight?' he woudl say to me as I put my bass into its case. If you had to blow into it he called it a trumpet ... 'it's a terrible noise when you blow in that trumpet' he would say as I learned the harmonica. Name ten bass players? He couldn't name one instrument correctly. He wasn't stupid he just wasn't interested. And nonetheless he was a talented ballroom dancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted Sunday at 23:08 Share Posted Sunday at 23:08 As I have pointed out several times before, if i ask Mrs ET to name any bass players, she will always respond with ...
