Ain't she cute ?

Wonderful picture!
I tell everyone that I'm going to forbid my kids to become musicians. No, they're going to be financial advisors specializing in elder care!
My son (3.5 years old) loves to haul out one or another of my basses and strum it with a pick, usually singing "Hard Day's Night" or the "Scooby Doo" theme song. I want to get him some kind of keyboard soon, operating on the theory that getting comfortable with the keyboard is the best way to begin understanding music. But my basses will still be available to him, of course. My daughter (5 months old) hasn't shown an interest in music yet.

Looks like 'Sunshine of your Love" to me!

Great pic

Hmm, slapping Sunshine of Your Love and using a wah, she's brilliant. I wonder what she'll do next...

First Female Jaco perhaps?!

All I know is that kid has got one killer bass rig there

Great shot!

That's an awesome pic. I'm with the others that her technique looks very impressive.

It was suggested that the bass might be too heavy for her. Actually, I think it is.
However, she keeps crying, "my turn....my turn".
What can I do?

Anyway, thanks for all the nice comments,

That's how I got started, brah! Some 46 years ago! Result: we have a white Kawai baby-grand piano, which dominates our living room. I'll play ragtime, boogie, jazz and... everyone's favorite... show tunes for family, friends and guests! This regularly happens on weekend evenings when I don't have a gig... I'm 52 now, and I can still sight read like a real mother-for-ya...

guys, guys, guys .... you're missing something here. There is NO WAY any of my kids will play the bass. They need to play piano or some other instrument that they can hire their old man when they start gigging

Something like this? Here's the 2 year old's big sis.

I'm having fun with this!

We'll see her gigging before she's out of high school for sure.
