Double Bass You are my Flower

[ChuckCorbis]

Actually, there is a potentially famous country singer/songwriter among us in the TBDB community. [see the thread -"Hearing the Changes"]

It's cool, they know who I am.

 

[Bruce Lindfield]

People have been playing me 'country' for 30 years or more and I just hate it - I have loads of friends who say I should listen to this and this and I do and still hate it!

I am also irritated by threads that just have links to Youtube and say listen to this ....

So I mostly check into TB at work and Youtube is banned there - so I have to make an effort to check anything interesting out, on the rare occasions when I am at home at a PC - it is then very disappointing to find you hate that style of music and even more irritating!

Well...you asked!!

 

[Jason Sypher]

Country ain't for everyone that's for sure. Brits often find it completely perplexing! I discovered I loved it when I started playing it. At first I was concerned. What was I becoming? Then I read that Charlie Parker loved country music and Charlie Haden based his harmolodic concepts on the every shifting harmony vocals of his country music background. Thanks for joining the fray. Funny what happens when you leave the site for a few days.....

Man, am I glad to see you.
I need you here. You're grouchier than me. :

 

[Bruce Lindfield]

I do get grouchy about the number of threads here, which are basically just links to youtube - if I want to watch TV, I'll watch TV on my nice big HD TV!

If I want to have a discussion I come to TB!

So that's what I've been doing wrong all these years! Man. Paulie. Thanks for posting that.

You bast---. Out of curiosity, I watched the whole thing, and now I want to kill myself.

 

[Jason Sypher]

I love that guy. He is so wonderfully clueless. It's touching.

 

[Marcus Johnson]

I still like the other Expert Village bass guy. The little drooling guy, with the happy little mushroom haircut, that stares at his fingers. You know the one.

Come on. He knows scroll. He knows fingerboard. He owns a quiver. (WITH a bow in it). He knows Pledge. (Especially on the fingerboard). That oil makes the wood last longer. ( Lets go oil up some Redwoods. YMMV).
What, exactly, more could you ask.



EDIT: Marcus, they musta pulled out the happy little mushroom guy. I wanted to post more **** to grouch out Bruce. No luck, sorry.

I got to see these guys live when they came through boston a few weeks ago. I'd been watching Paul the whole time, noting that he seemed pretty reserved (but then again the Punch Brothers thing is a very tightly orchestrated set). They did this number as an encore and I was amazed - so consistent, so poised, great sound, great phrasing. The man is a machine. A very musical machine.

It's also interesting to note that he's playing what Maybelle Carter played on the guitar. A very cool arrangement.

As for Gabe's singing, i could take it or leave it, but i liked how he backed off the mic on some of the harsher notes. You don't see many bass/vocal duets, especially in this kind of music, and these guys pull it off great.

Au Contraire, Pierre.

I'll get you for this, Marcus.
'scuse me, I gotta barf again.

 

[Paul Warburton]

You found him! God love ya. A wealth of information from a true genius of DB pedagogy. This one is the award winner, though..........

Hitchoo wamotamagin!


EDIT: Fingerboard dressing by Arnold Schnitzer? End-pin adjustment by Ron Carter.
