Double Bass <flamebait>cliches and good quotes</flamebait>

quotes I use lately

Here comes the bride
Greek national anthem
Stranger in Paradise
That Dragnet diminished thingy

I used to use Now's the Time with the amatuer "jazz" group here to signal the end of my solo. They'd never get it. Then I would just walk the last two bars. Still wouldn't get it. Then I would shout "Take It!". Still no response. I sure used to take a lot of walking solos.......

A coupla weeks ago I was soloing on Line for Lyons and ended up playing Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
Should I get worried, since it´s November and I´m quoting Christmas songs already...?

It happens when you don't want it. I was just playing a root-5-6-5 line last night and it kept comming out like "Here comes Santa Clause"

I'm wondering if most people picked up Country Garden from Red Garland's quote of it playing in It Never Entered My Mind with Miles. Whaddya think?
