I'm in love with Tal

[Funkmabassup]

I think Tal is a great player, no doubt she is a proffesional player and should be, she could lay down the bottom end for most proffesional artists out there and do a phenomenal job. Tal deserves nothing but praise for being a superb musician

However I do agree shes extra hyped up(my guess because shes a young nice girl) I mean there are other young players out there thats just as good and even more virtuose that doesnt get half the praise she s getting. Also just take a look at youtube, there are plenty mediocre girlbassists who gets a TON of views and likes and attention while some of the twice as good male players maybe got half ad many views. Thats just showbiz I guess.

I absolutely love Tal Wilkenfeld also. I would soooooo love to take off her shoes and socks after a long show and bury my face in her sweaty bare feet and sniff away at their aroma.

You know, you don't have to type out every thought in your head and post it on the internet!

Huh?

Just wait until someone writes that they want to do the same to JimmyM's bare feet after a show.

Curiously, I think that post summed up the thread in a nutshell. People's reactions (particularly those of heterosexual males) to Tal have a sexual component which does appear to impact their evaluations. Thus, I think it best to imagine her as a grumpy, smelly, old man while listening, in order to mitigate that variable....

I was in highschool when The Police first came on the scene.....In all this time, I've never heard women speak about Sting in terms of how great a bassist he is....Or singer...Or actor.

It's always been about how Hot the guy is.

Welcome to the jungle.

Tal's cute, and is a very accomplished bassist,................. and that's it. Luckily for her that Jeff Beck found her.
