I play the sax break on “Just the 2 of us” on my bass.

Descendents Appeal To Aging Fanbase With New Song ‘Milo Goes to Bed Before 10’

I play in a classic rock band that gigs 2-3 times a month. We could play more gigs but everyone has other things going on. I do jot “like” the majority of our repertoire, meaning that it is not stuff I would voluntarily listen to. But the crowd likes it, people dance, sing along and have a...

The Pentiums The Lewinskys Tool Time The Iconvenient Truths

I am familiar with the $10K rule, pattern of deposits etc. I still say this was an upsell attempt. Banks make most of their money from fees. My checking and savings accounts are no fee. A business account at this bank has fees included. She used the same script…” many of our customers who….”...

I agree. Nobody would want pics of a mid 60s balding slightly paunchy stripper. Especially one who plays bass.

Every so often this bank goes on an upsell binge. It is pretty annoying. I would switch my business to another bank if I had the time switch over all of the payment and deposit info and monitor everything for a couple of months but it would be too much of a hassle. Maybe a retirement project in...

I play in a classic rock band. We get paid in cash; cash from tips and cash from the bar. I am 66 years old and have been doing business with the bank I use for over 30 years - direct deposit monthly paycheck, savings account, laddered CDs, a HELOC. I don't use a lot of cash so I had been...

An update to the old joke… Roy and Dale are getting amorous but Roy is having some difficulty rising to the occasion. He reaches for his ‘supplement’ and to his disappointment sees that the package is shredded and the contents are gone. Dale looks across the room and sees their pet getting...

I play in a classic rock cover band. There are some songs that I play ‘scripted’ solos: The previously mentioned Brown Eyed Girl The sax break on Just the 2 of Us Substitute We start Use Me with an extended drum and bass groove The iconic bass solo in All Right Now I also play improvised...

Once in the early 80s. I was playing aggressive punk stuff with a pick and the g string snapped at the bridge. The strings - rotosound swing bass - were fairly new. The next day I went to the music store to buy a new g string and let them know that I was disappointed in their “best”...

Big boss man

I play mando,steel guitar and bass in my current band. Sometimes it makes instrument switching easier if I sit. There are some songs that I swap b/t steel and bass, like. ‘Day after day’ so I would sit. That was the deal until early 2023 when I got COVID. I am an official certified COVID long...

Leave the bass, take the cannoli.
