Let's spread some musical misinformation

Metric,
No more foot long hotdogs
No more inch worms,
No more backyards,

About 20 revolutions around the sun ago, I worked with a Canadian engineer who complained about a 65mph speed limit sign outside Carlsbad NM, We drove too slow, I asked him him how fast the local highways were posted. He told me 100kph. So I told him most of the time we don't get ticketed until we exceed 70mph. . He said we still legally drive faster in Canada. Go figure.

There is no Canadian driver who stayed on or within a posted speed limit up here ever.

They all drive like crazed maniacs.
 
And, if you add thyme, you'll never need a metronome. :thumbsup:

:roflmao:

All notes are created equal, but some are more equal than others. Four strings good, two strings bad. Unless you're a viola player, in which case no strings best.

I should've bought the farm a long time ago, could've cultivated some string-trees, fore the nut gathering, and pickup some tone that way.


Stringed instruments have to be tuned periodically, because the moon moves away from the earth by approximately one inch a year.

This is why string height as it relates to pickup height is so important. If you don't have a good balance between the pull of the pickups and the pull of the moon, you could create a standing string-wave that would then turn into feedback and knock the earth off its trajectory around the sun and cause a fatal crash into one of our solar systems' celestial bodies — or worse, go beyond and hit some other universal spheroid. Holy Toledo!

Yeah, super-important stuff to consider as a bass player, since we have more pull.

Pink Floyd tried to set the controls for the heart of the sun.

And yet we still earn a paltry 100 dollars a night.......
