Jazz Kat

My parents would've put up with that for about, oh... two seconds. I remember the ONE time I refused to eat what my mom made for dinner. Guess what I got instead? Nothing and a trip to my bed. I still remember how much my stomach hurt and how hungry I was all night. It only took once and from then on out I ate what my mom put in front of me. ← Was your organ in your room at this point?

Can't imagine a world without milk, for me...

They're saying it's allright, just a little sting.

Who?

Stax stuff?

Today while moeing the lawn at our up-state house, a rock flew out and shot at my eye. Man, I couldn't even open it, now it fucking stings. I thought I'd be blind for a couple hours there, but now it's opening up. Shit, what an experience.

They played Moanin' pretty good.

She gave Johnny boy "props?" Hmmm that's good ain't it.. Or maybe she's getting even more bread to do so. Well all I have to say is, "thats hot!"

Imho bass is THE instrument. All others fall in it's wake. Be a BASS player. Not a disappointed guitarist. Forget the guitar. Throw yourself 100% into bass and you're chances of having a successful career in music has just increased 100 fold. Good bass players are the hardest musician to find. Great ones even harder. Those that do it well gig more than even great drummers imho. One reason I started on organ was that I could play my own bass. This was from first hand knowledge that good bass players are impossible to find (especially when the breat ain't all that great). Be a bass player Jazz Kat and forget every other instrument. Study the greats....Blanton, Brown, Watkins, Chambers, Workman, ect. Play upright and electric. Take lessons. Study the instrument. When the guitar player that replaced you is working his day job in 10 years....you will be gigging if you practice hard. ← Wow Soulstream, pretty encouraging. I think I know what to do. The bass seems perfect for me. I solo pretty good up and down the neck and have a pretty good ear. Thanks for the help. Give me a call in 2 years!! If you decide to throw away those pedals...

This is a question for all you guitar players out there. a rather random question, hopefully it will make sense... How different is playing electric bass from guitar. Well duh. they're two different instruments made for different jobs, (most of the time) but never-the-less the two are both guitars. Do you people who play guitar play electric bass too? The reason I'm asking this is because in my band i used to play guitar, but for some reason I got roped into playing bass. It was a little bit on my part too, they didnt kick me off guitar or nothing. I just want to know how much of a change, or even step down is this.. I call myself a guitar player. Is playing electric bass for now making that statement not true?

Moose.... I thought we were tight..

That's so............................un-American..

George Washington, Martin Luther King Jr, Homer Simpson? I pick John Lennon! Nah, Elvis!

Brian Wilson??? I meant Brian Jones..

Dry: Pops, Rice Crispie Treats, Cinnomon Toast Crunch with milk: Frosted Flakes, wheaties, Cookie Crisps

What's with all these concerts in London!!!

Yes, I just checked 2 seconds ago, and it is not on at all tonight.

I can really tell Percy Heath by his percision. If you notice, when he plays you never hear the strings vibrating as opposed to like Charlie Mingus or Paul Chambers. Heath was very subtle, and he had a very clear tone.

Wow, I just thought my alarm was going off! I should of turned my vol. down.

Here's another one. Kind of weird. Bought Breezin' by George Benson, fell in love with it, wanted to buy every George Benson album I could find, but then I heard his new album. I wanted to cry.

I can only think of one. The Modern Jazz Quartet, In a Crowd. It was my second MJQ purchase. I bought The Early Recordings, didn't like it... I think I was too little to appreciate it, but then I got the more swinging, In a Crowd album, and loved it. This was around the summer of 2000, I bought Pyarimd, Concorde, Last Concert, Blues on Bach, Fontessa, and some more soon after.

I just wish these musicians would just make something totaly new. Electric, acoustic whatever... Why not both.. Do you HAVE TO be up there swinging 4/4 all the time... I think some artists are trying to do this, sometimes successfuly, sometimes not.

The Who, or was that just Keith Moon's drumset??
