The Tall Club.

[ClaytonH]

Certainly, good man! You're probably going to be quite a tall fellow! #55

And to Bob, you'll certainly be allowed to come along. We'll just fall on you when you kick us in the shins.

Well thank you, my doctor said I'm supposed to be around 6' 9 or 7' when I'm finished growing. And if basketball was played with empty water bottles and trash cans then I'd be like LeBron (NE Ohio thing)

 

[Swerve]

Here is me playing a dusty Hohner!

Is there a short peoples club? For people such as myself (I'm 5' 2").

Paul Santucci was inspired by this thread to make a "Short Men with Humongous Egos" club a couple months ago.

I am 6'8" and 355lbs. and I am 55 years old.

 

[FreaqyFrequency]

Awesomeness! More 6'8" people!

Rawkin'.

 

[FreaqyFrequency]

Bump.

By the way, Colorado seems to be the land of the tall people. When I was there to play the Telluride Jazz Fest last week, I swear a quarter of the people I met were close to or above my height. It's decently rare to meet people over my height on the east coast.

 

[Darkstrike]

Maybe its just that tall people are into Jazz, they might have been visitors for the festival too.

 

[FreaqyFrequency]

Dunno man. I've heard a lot of generalities about tall people, but I don't think I've ever heard the one about them being into jazz. I'd say most musicians, particularly professional, I've met have been fairly short.

I guess I need to meet more basketball players who play jazz.

Dunno man. I've heard a lot of generalities about tall people, but I don't think I've ever heard the one about them being into jazz.

I've never heard the one about them all moving to Colorado.


Oh, and oddly, nearly every musician I know, are tall, often taller than me. What a cowinkydink....

 

[Cyber Soda]

I'm 6'1"... It's not that tall! Come on!

 

[FreaqyFrequency]

Bump.

I'm pretty sure we have more people than this here, yeah? Jimmy Rocket, mike_v_s, Gard, standalone, Anthbass, jumbosilverette?

If you don't want a number it's cool, just thought you might make a cameo.

 

[Luke.Walton]

Number please!
I'm 6' - 6'1"
And at the time of this post, I am 17, and don't plan to stop growing for a while...

 

[FreaqyFrequency]

Right on brother.

I go from 6'3 to 6'4+ depending on if I am standing up straight or just woke up.

I just re-measured myself not too long ago.

Apparently after being up for a number of hours I can get as short as 6'. As it seems, I am only 6'3 in the morning.


Seeing as how I am now short, I will go kill myself to salvage what is left of my soiled honor

 

[Ground Pounder]

I'm in - 6'1".

Being tall and skinny limits me to long basses.

Being tall and skinny limits me to long basses.

I'm tall and skinny too. I'm just over 6'4". I don't have any pics with a bass, but...
