Thoughts from Steve Ryder
Luthier and droll Maine wit
Don't blame me for them!
-------------------------
Jam session bassist
Observes fourteen soloists
Contemplates murder
Say, do you guys know
"Wedding Song" by Kenny G?
Buy the damn record
Riffing on "Rudolph"
Musicians in red and green
Learn humility
Best man pays sideman
Revealing greed of leader
Rebellion ensues
I'm sending a sub
But don't worry, he'll be fine
He's fresh from rehab
Solo pianist
Freed from all constraints of form
Heedlessly mangles
Jazz nymphs crowd bandstand
Offering carnal delights
My alarm clock rings
Double-timing bone
Sounds like somebody chewing
On a rubber band
Free jazz temptation
Strikes during the bride's first dance
What Would Wynton Do?
New Years revelers
Here's hoping the stroke of twelve
Sends you the hell home
Checking out women
High stages and low necklines
Great combination
A new world's record
For choruses on "A Train"
My band hates me now
That plate of hors d'oeuvres
Cost more than we're getting paid
Think we underbid?
Break time is over
Rest of band is returning
Now for that phone call
Rock drummer, lounge keys
Classically trained singer
Welcome to sub hell
God bless trust fund gigs
Only have to eat ramen
For a few more weeks

Making big boxes make noise
Often, unnoticed
Often, way off-key
The doghouse howls in pain
Or so it might seem
In my clumsy mitts
The poor thing tries to escape
Yet to no avail
