Have you ever gotten to that point in your life...?

...where the only thing that seems to make sense is playing bass?

That's where I am at right about now.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Yeah. I'm twice your age, and a Judge, but sometimes I feel exactly the same way.

No, all that makes sense to me is getting up and continuing to be an affront to the world by existing!

I'm at that stage of life where only surfing, sleep, sex, beer, golf, bass, and my kid make sense.

If you like Graceland you would like listening to West African Hi-Life music.

I certainly would, any recommendations?

Graceland is responsible for introducing me to the South African pop music scene!

Can't say that I have, but I can say that bass has gotten me through some tough times.

West African Hi-Life Band. Actually, they are quite small. You might be able to catch them at a reggae festival, that's where I first saw them. They had a huge percussion section. Some of the happiest music on the planet. The next time I saw them was at my friends wedding.

Black Star Liner too.

Yep. Been there.

Seriously. My life consists of bass, sleep and eating.
