People being jerks are the stock in trade of some news cycles.

Apparently, none of you were regular listeners to Whad'Ya Know? Sad.

Groomer day for Odin. In Real Life ™ that means he will sleep right next to me for a few nights, which is not his habit.

Video day for Morrighan. In Real Life ™ that means dressing up a little for the camera. Agreed to an improvisation on the diatonic cycle, and all I've got is a single eighth note figure

Hope that Odin is happy with the final result. Rolling around in the dirt afterwards is normal. I got a summer haircut (read short) yesterday. Off to play in the dirt now.

Some disco inspiration. Just play it backwards and fix the rough edges.

Only one oar in the water without my Marleaux.

"Marleaux" is just an oh-so-twee way of spelling "cat bass."

You’d think that a Marleaux Votan would come in a nice Merlot colour.

Do the groove to Maneater but sing the words to Doin' It. It works every time, trust me. Mama said knock you out!

I made it a big point to avoid actually playing anything in the Marleaux booth when I was "working" right next door at NAMM, especially since they are one of the very few to showcase fretless bass appliances at the show.

It's really cut back on my ability to indulge in jackassery.

Well, don't let that stop you! This forum is mostly a collection of random thoughts from random people.

Geez, lol. The other year when photobucket was having a lot of problems...wait, that's every year...anyways, the PB guy who moderated the support forum had THAT as his avatar. Let's just say a few PO'd people mentioned that in their replies.

Had not heard of Marleaux until now. Wow. Definitely some artwork in those basses.

I have known Jim Saye since 2nd grade. The law forced the door of his house today and found him in bed. They said about 3 days since he died. Jim had 2 boys, oldest about 13. They're with Mom, Jimmy's ex wife. I am stunned.

Positive vibes on the way. It's tough. I lost a good friend three yrs ago, sudden and unexpected. Hang on to the great memories.

A few years ago, I was in a local concert band that decided to do this number. One of the flutists was going to be the typist, but there was a problem. Nobody had a manual typewriter. Except me-I had what had been my Mom's, which was used for the concert and again 2 years later after I'd left the band but had no problem loaning it to them.
EDIT: they had to mic it.

Never really thought of the difference between acoustic and electric typewriters. What's the best amp for the electric?

Oh, yeah, how much does it weigh? lol.

Yep, the fretless Diva and Contra models are especially tasty, but...sticker shock.

There's a famous bootleg recording of Janis Joplin and Jorma Kaukonen doing Hesitation Blues with Jorma's wife playing typewriter.

There's this, then.

Then there is this. Heck of a lot of fun to play but it's a workout!



This one, too. We played it a few ticks faster but this is pretty close.

Useta be able to play those tempos. Age/Arthur-write-us say "no more".
