Not to forget______Before I started on the Trumpet lessons when I was 10, I had Piano lessons at age 8 for 2 years, but that did not work out for me because of various reasons. By the late 1960's I was living and hanging out right in the middle of the San Francisco Rock Sound and wanted to jam with my musician friends ( many of them guitar players) so I purchased my first used Bass for $35.00 when I was 15 .I continued to play the Trumpet and had to read the parts in the school bands as written but when I went home I picked up my Bass and ran off to jam and make up my own Bass parts with my friends who were all Grateful Dead Fans .I often latter got in in trouble with both the Band and Orchestra conductors for improvising parts on the trumpet around this time which often resulted in me being highly reprimanded and being told to leave the until I would agree to comply to the arrangements as written. By this time all really wanted to do was explore more musical freedom and at the time the Bass had become a great love of mine for this musical exploration, and besides; my friends didn't throw me out of the class ! lol ____ | ||

Okay...Intelligent bass players?? A bass player goes into a shop and says to the assistant " I have been playing 4 string electric bass for 20 years and I want to expand my ability to a 5 string" The assistant replies;- " So you are a bass player eh?" The guy answers "Yes" The assistant then asks;- " So are you any good at it?" The guy replies " Yes I am, I play nearly all styles of music, can sight read music and chord charts, have a good knowledge of musical theory and set up all my 4 string instruments" The assistant then replies "This is grocery store..you need to be further down the road" Yes a crap joke, I know | ||

Years ago a bass-playing friend told me this one: How many bass players does it take to screw in a light bulb?' Four. One to do it, the other three to stand around saying 'that's not how Jaco would have done it, dude.' | ||

Edwin, keyboard players use their left hand so that it feels like someone else is doing it. | ||

From a drummer friend: If a drummer beats on his drum in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it really make a sound? I don't know......................... I'm a drummer - duh! Next: How many drummers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A. I don't know, but they must be really tiny. I wonder what size sticks they use...? B. Ten - one to actually do it and nine to argue about how Steve Gadd would have done it. | ||

An oldie but goodie! This guy goes on vacation to a tropical island. As soon as he gets off the plane, he hears drums. He thinks "Wow, this is cool." He goes to the beach, he hears the drums, he eats lunch, he hears drums, he goes to a luau, he hears drums. He tries to go to sleep, yet he hears drums. This goes on for several nights, and gets to the point where the guy can't sleep at night because of the drums. Finally, he goes down to the front desk. When he gets there, he asks the manager, "Hey! What's with these drums. Don't they ever stop? I can't get any sleep." The manager says, "No! Drums must never stop. It's very bad if drums stop." "Why?" "When drums stop...bass solo begins." slawie | ||

Producer came to the Singer and asked her to start 1/64 late on first beat, then asked if she could move a coma up at second note, but going quarter tone down at third before came back to pitch on fourth note. At sequel he begged her to make a false start and step in a 1/32 before the beat and the list went on and on... Confused she told him that she couldn't remember all that. So he said: - "Ok, just do it how you did on your last try" | ||
