Congrats and don't sweat it, you've been through it all before with the percussion. Feel free to use my own personal mantra. There are no wrong notes, only passing tones

Jtrow and charliedog are right. Those years weren't wasted. You came to the bass when you were ready to play. Who knows?, if you had picked it up when you were thirteen, you might have hated it and never played again? Enjoy!:hyper:

I believe I'd rather watch paint dry. Or, should this winter EVER end,..grass grow. I never really understood the whole awards show thing. Always seems to be a bit of a popularity contest. IMHO

The Pogues are always a good choice. However, If you are only going to play three, you should probably go with three well known fun tunes. Drinking songs, or singalong types. I humbly submit: Seven Drunken Nights The Wild Rover Red-Haired Mary

Playing in a bar in Jackson, Michigan 1st set Nobody really there except for two groups of people on either side of the dance floor. It was pretty obvious they'd been there for quite some time. There's a bit of attempted dancing going on when, as drunk guys will often do, an argument starts ...

Its time like those that I truly appreciate the power of the mute button!:smug: Here's a thought, what's worse Saved by zero or This is Ouuuuuurrr Country by JCM?:rollno:

What a load of crap. Someone should tell Mr. Bruce that jealousy is a horrible cologne. Even if he was drinking, the excuse "I've had a few and am not responsible for what I say"...ceases to be viable somewhere in your twenties, if not earlier. As far as his comments being sarcastic...

Worst/funniest band disaster. Kinda long and actually involves the drummer We were playing a Tues-Sat. in Janesville Wisconsin (back in the mid-90's). Wednesday that week, is the drummers b-day. So we decide to help him celebrate, starting 3 or so hours before we're supposed to go on. Needless...

Years ago, broke my A string about halfway through a show...yup, no replacement, shame on me! It was a bit of a challenge to compensate for no A string, Managed to limp through the rest of the evening. Suffice to say, I now carry two spare sets of strings.

Sunshine of your love Irish washerwoman Summer Nights from Grease....Everyone always sings along to that one. If its a young niece or nephew..Old Mcdonald always brings down the house:smug:

Listen to Creative mp3 in the car. Would never wear headphones/earbuds in public. Because I know, without a doubt, that the second I put them on, the ninjas will attack.

That is a toughie. I would advocate the honesty approach. First subtly. Don't gang up on him, but calmly tell him he's a bit loud at times and that its difficult to perform with the volume that loud. He may not realize he's blowing everyone out the door. If he doesn't take the hint. Then...

Never had that problem. One of the few perks of being a lefty It also works in reverse. Someone asks me to sit in, and I have to tell them I'm a lefty..dang, I guess I'll just continue to sit here and drink my adult beverage! JKT..I completely agree with your puzzlement. I go to shows to...

Stairway to Heaven The Live version off of The Song Remains the Same. To this day, as powerful as it ever was.

Count me in as assimilated into the black, white, sunburst and that's all you need category. But, if I had to choose from the above colors. Gotta be the blue.
