Basses on the Couch

My Stingrays on the couch.

Memphian?
Actually not at all. Not even close to Memphis, about 5 hours away. But I love the history and magic that Memphis has as far as music. That whole swath down the Mississippi river from Memphis to New Orleans is musical magic. Always has been, from the days of Robert Johnson to today with one of my current favorites, Bishop Gunn. Nothing like the deep south when it comes to music.

5 hours is considerably closer than i am to my former hometown.
Check out Van Duren if you’re inclined toward great pop. (I’m a huge Big Star fan,too.)
 
I thought this was about playing your bass on a couch. :)
That’s it!
I’m taking my couch to my next gig. (A loveseat serves the purpose)
It will start a trend. All bassists will do it then we get triple union scale if we have couch. You all will thank me.....:):)
Make sure that couch is Neo or it will be considered old school and overweight.
And definitely a love seat, none of those old school sleds with the fold out bed. :roflmao:
