I didn't really know him, but what little interaction I had was very good. I was having a crisis about my ability to play and how to practice and whatnot, and he gave some of the sanest advice I'd...
I've got a few of those kinds of signs, including:

Taurus, bay-bee!
And a Tiger if you go that way. ;)
Awww, thanks, everyone. :)
My first love has always been percussion, but I keep myself busy in a lot of different musical ways. I've been a dabbler from an early age, and I think trying all...
Just had to share this really cool thing.
My friend was visiting me Monday evening. We first met 10 years ago as 1st year music teachers at a small Louisiana school. She had the instrumental...
^ Is very observant! :biggrin:
My birthday is 5/5/74
I like it because it's the same day as month. I've liked looking at the other birthdays on this thread and seeing how many other people are same day/month people. Very...
I was in Finland. (My user name is Finnish for "time machine," by the way. I've mentioned that here before.)
I had just gotten home from work on a day when I got out early. I had only been int...
^ has a higher post count than me in a shorter amount of time!
Ditto that.
To further explain, one of the great slap and pop innovators was Larry Graham who was playing in church without a drummer. He used the sounds to imitate what might have been a bass...
Ooooh. I'm going to post this on my bass forum. There is an entire subforum for musician jokes. :icon_mrgreen:
Carter is one of the most respected drummers, it seems. On the bass boards I visit there was a thread I read once about bass players who were unworthy of their drummers, and Carter was nominated...
Nothing to add except... "Fascinating."
Like the other string players here, I learned the down and then up way as a rule. Nice to know it makes sense across the board.

So last night I was at a church "Camp Meeting", and there were several people with hand percussion instruments in the audience. This one exciting Hallelujah song was being sung with full...
When I was at Bass Player Live in Los Angeles in November, I was impressed with 3 drummers I saw live out there. They were all just saw-droppingly good.
Keith Carlock (so facile with the styles)...
I wondered where it went! Nice to know what happened.
I usually think I'm leading everything because in a certain sense, I am. I've got the whole singer thing going on, and I've selected the songs. (My church music group doesn't rehearse in advance. ...
I have a bit of an odd question, and I've come to the group for knowledge and wisdom.
I play bass and sing lead in church. Most of the time I have worked without a drummer. After being gone for...
I was talking with my bass teacher and explaining how I'd like to develop some songs that are me singing with my bass only. There are a few solo bassist/singers out there, but not many. It's a goal...
Er... I know and can play 12 of them, I'm sure, but I don't always know them by heart, as in the right name and sticking that goes with each. So I can play the rudiments through when I'm reading my...
I really appreciate what Beasty101 wrote about bass players. As one myself, it's nice to get recognition. Thanks. :)
As for the stereotype of drummers being stupid, yeah, I've heard it. I guess...
Awesome thread. I was such an astronomy geek as a child. I took physics as my university science. I've visited the Johnson Space Center (the touristy thing. It's excellent value if you're ever...
