Mike Huckabee in BassPlayer by Bryan Beller

[Brian Barrett]

Just might be one of the best articles I have read. He hit everything spot on in my opinion!

Thanks Mike Huckabee and Bryan Beller

Great article

[Brian Barrett]

did you read the article, its about music and bass playing... It also talks about his 68 Fender Jazz that he had as a child if that helps...

[Dr. Cheese]

I'd be interested if there are no politics. It's neat he is a bassist.

There isn't, a matter of a fact thats one reason I wanted to post and highlight it... I didn't want to mention that word in my last reply since it gets so heated when mentioned, so I hope thats the last time the P word is used.

It is an article that really talks about the NAMM project of getting instruments into schools and how music and art Must be a part of k-12 for every child in school.

Great. Let's talk about an article that sort of talks about a bass.... Yep, not the right forum for this.

lolololol, What.....

sorry, I'm having to laugh, I have no clue what any of these response are about.... obviously motivated by something other then the article Bryan Beller Wrote in Bassplayer. I'm not sure if you read it or are just casting your opinion out on something else.

Again, sorry for my post, I think those that read it will all agree.. They did a great Article.

Huh?? What's that supposed to mean? Somebody can't express his appreciation for and enjoyment of an article about a specific bass player without being attacked for not respecting other bass players??? Not quite sure how you're getting from "A" to "B"...

you have nothing to apologize about, brian.

Your right, Jimmy. Brian has nothing to apologize for, but I think Bass Player does. Huckabee has very little cred as a BASS PLAYER. This whole issue was sort of themed "successful amateurs". Aside from a half page of fluff on Lee Sklar, we get the Huckabee piece (and yes, I agree with his views on music education except for that weird "right brain dominant" part, but he is a politician- they excel at preaching to the choir), eight pages of "Bass Player Live" and Jared Followill advising us that "you don't need a teacher to improve" among other things.

Come on, what's next? A Kenau Reeves cover story? The Huckabee piece was not so much inappropriate as unnecessary. I'm happy Mike gets to live out his teenage fantasy. But I would prefer to read about players that offer insight beyond "get a good instrument".

BTW, if BP would like to interview ME, I'm sure I could offer up some really insightful stuff about getting good sound in the Moose Hall. Hey, come to think of it, that would be helpful but the cover photo would need some serious Photoshopping.

I think you missed the sarcasm. Might want to reread it.
