Well, yeah, but that's real beer, not something distilled through a horse.This is not true of street beer vending machines in Europe.

Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

And somebody's old sweatsocks. Wait. That might have been the mess hall coffee.

I gave up drinking. I used to like 25 and 18 year old booze. The ageing made it very smooth, no headache no matter how much you drank. I have a few bottles of 25 stuffed into the back of an amp somewhere. Sometimes I find it and look at it for a while, then put it back. Back in the day, I bought it for less than a tenth of what it sells for now. Still, I could have bought some nice gear instead.
If it'd make you feel better, you could send it to FL and I'll personally recycle it-and the container too.
(might have a coupla ppl help with the recycling part)
Did that for a couple of years in college circa '72-'74. We all clicked pretty well and even discounting self bragging we were pretty darned good. Mostly Chicago stuff but anything with a horn in it we did like Get Ready and Vehicle.

If I'm worried about indulging in things that are really damaging to my body, going to pass on this whole "Time" deal first.
Is this a really old Marantz receiver picking up a DSOTM broadcast from the future?

IME horn players with Bb and Eb instruments and the like can transpose as they sight read
Some of them can. My experience is most can't. That's not a slam. It takes extra effort to learn to do that. The director of our combo at school is pretty good at it. He plays all of the saxes well.
Then there is this sax guy that I've had the pleasure to learn from and listen to. His answer to the question of "How do you transpose from concert to XX or vise versa?" was "The best way to transpose is not to transpose". He could read anything in his key or concert pitch. Outstanding player and fun to watch! I think he is from outer space.

Depends on the market and the gig. I have played in a once a year big band a few times with every member being paid at least 400. Now as a recurring gig, you are probably right.

A melody player can do that. A melodic bass player is a whole 'nother deal.
Oh and having to do with nothing in this conversation but we know how that is
We did both of those. Saw them live in '73 (I think) at Barton Coliseum in Little Rock.
There is a documentary on Terry Kath by his daughter. Worth watching.

I could help with that. It ain't that far to FL.
There's a local big band(currently on virus hiatus)that plays/played the first and third Wednesdays of each month. I covered the gig for a year while their regular bass man recuperated from a medical thingy. $50/gig. Place was packed. They made money. The band does it mostly to keep chops in shape and the music alive. Many of the band members are also in local community concert bands. Those gigs pay $0.
EDIT: I was in 2 of them, but one required the members to "pay dues" to be in the band. I play for pay or fun. I don't pay to play.

You gotta realize: I grew up in Miami. I know how Spanish works-and how to 'mess' with it.
We had a piano player at school like that a few years ago. Read pretty much anything you threw at him but no feel. He came from a classical background and new to jazz but after about three semesters it didn't improve much.
Oh yea! Sorry I completely forgot this!
You're the best!

Right. As the guest of rather a Brown Buffalo sort AKA the Colombian &c &c, he found it difficult to understand why I would want to try an authentic Cuban sandwich. Uh SW 110th Street Miami near the Parrot Jungle or something been a long time, more than half a lifetime ago
Yes my ear is/was accustomed to hearing Spanish.
Geez. We had almost the same path
Trumpet starting in 5th grade. I was a prodigy. They moved me to the 6th grade band. lol
continued on trumpet
guitar and electric bass around 7th-8th grade.
trumpet then baritone 9 through 11. Didn't play my senior year. Even had a little trombone and percussion in there.
played bass in the stage band 11th and 12th
Baritone 2 yrs of college. Electric Bass in the stage band plus the Chicago-ish group and a Carly Simon/Carole King group.
bass with a guitar player doing country stuff for about a year
didn't play anything for about 10 yrs
wife bought me an acoustic guitar for anniversary present. (she is so cool and my best friend!)
back to bass circa '88
added upright in '08, got away from it about 5 yrs ago

PS - I prefer the term "electric bass" to "bass guitar"
