Roundabout...Circular reference. Very clever.

What about banjo players?

There was a movie that pretty well describes the conversion procedure for banjo players.
That's why I converted to this:

The Proclaimers actually only walked 498 miles but rounded it up to 500 as they thought it fitted better in the song

I don't understand luthiers. What are they doing working on guitars and basses? They should be working on lutes.

Feel sorry for the banjoliers. They have it tough.

They started on lutes, but the lute market has pretty well died out. They took on guitars and basses to afford to keep their shops open and feed their children. A very few, and even they will not admit it, do work on banjos in secret. It does violate the Luthiers Code, but hey, ya gotta make a livin'.

No, that was Mary Had a Little Lamb, which originally was titled Mary Had a Little Cramp.

Mary had a little lamb
One day she killed it dead
And now she takes it to school with her
Between two slices of bread.

Mary had a little lamb
One day she killed it dead
And now she takes it to school with her
Between two slices of bread.

Mary had a seat on a tuffet
A double bass between her knees.
She plays so well, so when she plays
They pay her triple fees!

Then she learned to play the flute, tripling her fees again.

Your bass features a trussrod, so luthiers won't lose their job.

The English conquerors of Wales banned the Welsh national anthem, but Braveheart defended the right of the Scottish people to continue to play their anthem, the MacArena.

Do you also have a system that does not involve winning a lottery?

Or is this denominated in Iranian Rial, in which case many could make a million in one gig.

Do you also have a system that does not involve winning a lottery?

Yes, the system is called "misinformation".

I was thinking plausible misinformation...

Plausible? From me? Have you been living under a rock?

 

[PillO]

Plausible? From me? Have you been living under a rock?

Yes, a nice side-split cave. 4 Bedrooms, three bathrooms with a sizable front garden and plenty of cheese-aging room in the back. With rock walls, the neighbours don't complain about the noise when I am playing.

 

[NZBassman]

if you boil your bass strings to reuse them, then the time you have to boil them for depends on what genre of music you play
Reggae - 6 minutes
Country - 7 minutes
Pop - 8 minutes
Blues - 9 minutes
Rock - 10 minutes
Heavy Metal - 16 hours

Ozzy, Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, and James Hetfield all were Depends on stage to avoid embarrassing incidents. However, Dave Mustaine has found an alternative solution; he takes large doses of Imodium before going on stage. Some say it is responsible for his signature vocal style.

Are rock walls the best for metal?

No - but they are good for playing Pink Floyd

Every time I play my bass it speaks to me, telling me the chance of becoming proficient is one in a million...
...so it's telling me there's a chance...excellent
