You have already met the love of your life and musical soul-mate on an elevator....
But she and you both stared straight ahead without talking and got off on different floors....disappearing into the ether forever......

The first rap song ever recorded by a white artist was called "Hello Mr. Picklen".
The first verse was as follows:-
' Hello Mr. Picklen'
'How are you today"
' Have you seen my dog?'
'It wandered off somewhere'
Second verse went:-
'No I haven't'
'Say hello to the missus for me'
'Drop in on your way back if you've got time'
'Take care now'
For some reason it never caught on and only sold two copies........

As all pro bassists know, the fastest way to improve on bass is to yodel while playing..
Notice in the video below how yodelling compliments the bass line of the song...
In this video the bass student is getting ready to yodel during bass practise.....
After about 30 seconds into this video, the song changes into a superb example of yodelling while playing bass...

The idea of grafting someone else's head onto another person's body as a spare first came to light when this song was published.....

Everywhere you go, coffee-shops, guitar stores, recording studios, rehearsals, bass players everywhere are talking about the return of this instrument to Gibson's 2016 line-up...
If you're an older bass player it's still possible to hold down a career dayjob and be in a rap-band at night....
If you're in a reggae band you can wear these as well..

My doctor gave me a brown note. Seems constipation was actually the problem.Which note does he give you? C ? A sharp? B natural? I hear them's very good for general, everyday piracy - good for the sea-legs and scurvy and stuff
I actually saw that bass and got to play it. It ended up in a small music store/museum in Newport News, Virginia. The guy who owned it had an amazing collection of unusual instruments and many of them were basses. He had the bass and one of the banjos used by that all woman banjo orchestra. As I recall, it was late 1920s.
I know it isn't a popular thing, but yodeling does take talent and this guy is excellent at it. I will want to listen to it again sometime in the next 10 years, if I'm not busy.
The black flat/sharp keys on a piano are called 'accidentals' because whenever you play complicated classical music they are always accidentally getting pressed.
Subwoofers of 500 watts or more are great for curing constipation.
Great brown notes are produced when you combine the subwoofer with early 70's rock recordings where a P-bass was used.
Sitting on the biffy doing while doing this you can sing blue notes.....just to get an idea of what rock/jazz fusion sounds like.

You can double your fun on an instrument by using double sharps or flats played in double-time.
If you see a 'Mordent' on your sheet music...call the exterminator right away. It is a type of rodent that thrives on eating paper.
