[Ed Fuqua]

meaning?

In the immortal words of George Mraz - "**** you Jon Raney (actually he said Richie Beirach), you're tunes are too ****ing hard. Let's play a blues..."

just funnin' you a little, boss.

If it aint got that swing......

Then it must not be swing... (ie. it's a fast samba)

So "bass-ically" we're going to use the lack of quarter notes as the litmus test to invalidate this snippet... is that the plan?

Or as the basis for some good clean fun. You get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, Sparky?

Ed, your posts are almost always entertaining and amusing. I gues some of us are just a little more "tightly wrapped' than others!

It seems to me if If we take ourselves too seriously, it's a good possibility no one else will take our ideas and views very seriously at all! JMO

My post came in after yours. And I didn't see your second which added the sentiment to the 1st which I wasn't quite sure if I missed your point. The combo of those 2 post together (w/o your explanation) was like "what's with these guys?"

As long as you don't slug me at rehearsal on Saturday....

Well, if you can only read quarter notes, then I can't be held accountable...

Nah, Ed told me he can play 32nd notes.... I didn't believe him, so he played me one.

I think I might be able to play one....? No more than that though!
