Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Stumbo]

Brian Wilson is a great musician and songwriter but is not one for great band names. Not only that, he doesn't like the beach and doesn't surf.

He thought The Wave Monkeys, The Sand Fleas, The Kelp Brothers, Waxie and the Boards, Mike and the Lover Boys were good names. Fortunately he was out voted.

Infact, the Monkees used one of his rejected names, the Wave Monkees. It was shortened by TV executives so that the name would fit on 4:3 standard definition TVs.

Vegetable farmers have the greens...
But never the blues.

(Hmm, maybe not so inaccurate)

I grow blue potatoes, blue corn, and write bad blues songs. I have farmer friends who drive blue tractors. Our collective feelings are bruised.

But, the metal bands that they do have are far heavier than most other metal bands. Heaviness per capita is actually the same as other countries. This demonstrates the conservation of mass principle in music.

Music for mass was introduced by Ignatius of Antioch in the 1st century AD; however, musical instruments for church music were frowned on. It wasn't until the 7th century that organ music was accepted. It wasn't until 1066 that Saint Chuck of Berry created Praise and Worship music which caused the split between Roman Catholics and Orthodox Catholics.

Sure... Lift the ground lug. Ground loop is fictitious term invented by the corporate types so they could sell more copper. Don't pay it any attention.

A Group Loop has nothing to do with music. It is an aeronautical maneuver that usually ends badly.

LOL! You simply can't not be Catholic!

The leftover parts of the Monkees later readopted the Wave part, with a woman called Katrina in place of Davy Jones. A few lineup changes and they were walking on sunshine

Led Zeppelin tried it in their tour plane in '73, and JPJ hit his head and thought eight string bass was a good idea.

I am indeed.

In 1951 Leo introduced the bass guitar to the Roman Catholic community.

In 1951 Leo introduced the bass guitar to the Roman Catholic community.

He was declared Saint Leo of Fender three days after his death.

In a clerical error he was made patron saint of banjos and accordions.

China Crisis's "King in a Catholic Style" is about Ferdinand II of Spain. In live sets often Michael Palin et al would turn up, as no-one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

If you visit Main St in downtown Los Angeles at night, you'll find lots of musicians busking.

 

[-Asdfgh-]

Busking was originally 'rusking' as medieval street musicians would play for biscuits as peanuts had not yet been invented. Once Jimmy Carter had opened the first peanut farm in the American colonies in 1650, they could play for peanuts and the term 'playing for peanuts' was invented. This was the high point of musician pay.

In other news Jimmy Carter is 387 this year.

Strings shrink each time they are boiled. Eventually bass strings end up as guitar strings.

Sainthood revoked when it was determined his first name was Clarence. A St. Louis Cardinal asked for the drop, because he couldn't play a fretless P- bass with precision.

Short scale basses are young basses that will eventually grow to full size long scale basses.

Short scale basses are young basses that will eventually grow to full size long scale basses.

Mikro basses will not grow as they suffer a deficiency in growth hormone. They will just stay that size. Pygmy basses are also known as guitars and they will not grow either.
