i could never be a session player, could you?

I used to entertain the idea of being a session bassist, but a certain American bass player implied that I'd have to be able to sight-read jazz fusion inside out and ar*e backwards. As I don't get on with most forms of jazz and my keen ear got me out of having to read much as a youngster, that was me stuffed.

I don't think I could be a session player simply because I like having a steady wage. However, stylistically, I'd like to think I'd give it a good go. I usually play jazz fusion and 1980's pop music, so I'd like to think my chops were held in reasonable condition and that I'd be able to give most things a shot.

Yep....

I'd love to be asked to do it, but in all honesty, I've not the abilty to be very versatile. My reading is minimal - I'd cannot sight read at all. I could work it out eventually...
