Let's spread some musical misinformation

I remember when I bought my first beginner bass..pic below.

Had it for about six months....quickly outgrew it and bought a Squier 4-banger.

If you happen to be performing on the International Date Line, all your delay pedals and time-based effects will very probably go haywire. Be warned. Delay times bordering on 24 hours are commonplace and hard to predict in these conditions and not at all easy to work with.

It's best not to use them at all when faced with such temporal paradoxes, according to Hoyle - who indicates that you may however learn to imitate many delay effects which may or may not get you out of strife on some occasions. Best advice is to take no chances and alter your set lists accordingly.

The most popular band name of all time is Cousin Ray And The Clodhoppers.

If you call your band this , you will make millions.

I used to be profitable to name your band the Grateful Dead. Not only would you get tons of gigs, but because Garcia et al are hippies, they would give an equal share of album royalties. Unfortunately, so many bands did this, that it now costs about $1000 annually to be in a band named the Grateful Dead.
 
If you play a recoding of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 backward, it's Bethoven's 5th Symphony to the note.

The really interesting part is that Bethoven completed his 5th symphony in 1806. Bach completed his Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in 1721, almost a 100 before.

Yes :thumbsup: ....I saw a reference to that in the movie "Bach To The Future"..
 
In 1970, a raggle taggle band of drifter humpbacks recorded an album, hoping that they'd make a bit of a dent in the adult contemporary charts and maybe even make a buck or two. 100,000 unit sales later, there was no doubting it. They'd done what they set out to do. And then, in the blink of an eye, they were gone.

"Gone fishin" the note read, left on the coffee table in their abandoned hotel suite. No more hits, no difficult second album would follow the first, nothing. In fact they simply disappeared, without a trace, never to be seen again, leaving no evidence of their existence except their musical legacy. This is that album.
