BUT i have no idea what to expect, having been flung in at the deep end as a sub for a proper bass teacher. don't even know if i'm playing on my own, helping a section or what!

cheers!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Glasgow, Scotland | | the constant key changes were a bit gratuitous, but to be honest the hardest part of it was playing on someone else's rather lovely 5 string. kept on going to do "bum BUM bum" perfect cadences, but instead of a nice clean statement, i'd go for the E and whack the B, giving a lovely low end thump. want one though.
then i got jumped on the way home 
no harm done fortunately... does this often happen when you play in musicals?
cheers guys 'n gals!

I gave up TB...at least until I threw this in.
Great lyrics and Ed, the changes on the bridge will give ya whip-lash.

The one where the whole village sings is Frankenstein.....

| | | | Jumped?
Velvet... when you say you were "jumped", are you saying that you were attacked by an unruly thug on the way home? Did you fight him off with your bow while using your bass as a shield? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Glasgow, Scotland | | that is indeed what i meant... fortunately i only had my bow with me (i was using someone else's bass, and it stayed there) so i successfully legged it discretion is indeed the better part of valour...
