Just bought the March BASS PLAYER. I couldn't resist.. There's a fairly well-known guy holding a GORGEOUS SC with Series electronics.... Seriously, I liked the article, glad he's back with an album after his scoring work. I wonder if he ever reads this forum? | ||

Hey Brother Joey, I followed your lead and jumped in the article "on line". What can I say? The only CD I have from him is "If this bass could only Talk". Reading the article I remembered why I quitted buying Bassplayer: it makes me so depressed. There is still so much to learn, so much to do and there is so little time. ***sigh*** But (hi again) I'm glad he is back lItterlly and figurally "on the front". Paul PS: I don't think he is very much in visiting websites. | ||

Hey guys, Stanley has his own site and you can talk to him there in his forum. http://www.stanleyclarke.com Paul, hang in there brother!!! That's the beauty of playing music...because there is so much to learn!!! Take it one day at a time and if you can learn just one thing, no matter how small it is, on a daily basis, then you've gotten betteer than the day before. Peace, Dino | ||

That issue of BP is siting on the coffee table in front of me right now...I used to get depressed listening to Jaco, Stanley, Victor, Marcus et al because I don't play like any of them. But, above all, I want playing to be fun. I can be depressed about Iraq, but music is an emotional refuge of sorts for me. I feel much better about playing when I view it as an end unto itself. I try to feel good about what I can play, and to play what I enjoy playing rather than what is difficult to play but not necessarily my favorite stuff to play. Peace to all, Joe | ||

I have always viewed amazing players in to ways. When I was very new at it I felt great that I could play like Gene Simmons "wow I just started and I can play these tunes!" That was a real boost to the young ego. Then my brother who hung out with Al DiMeola brought in a promotional copy of Romantic Warrior. It totally knocked me on my ass! After I sat in amazement and misery, I got up off my ass and became inspired. Since that time I was in love with the Alembic sound and the artists that used them. As I'm typing this, I'm playing my walnut spoiler 6 and loving every toneful note. Even the clams are sweet! | ||
