    According to His law, having a low B string is allowable so long as it's use is restricted to act as a thumb rest and nothing more. Verily, I say unto you, a special Hell awaits those who presume to use it otherwise. And there is yet another, more hideous damnation, usually reserved for overly...

    I highly recommend seeing the film.

    Well, Cullin, I can't quite match your experience and talent but I do understand the tears and in my case, humiliation. I guess we both know that. Humiliation is part of that growth process. The line in the movie "Hey, you did a good job' = death. One needs to get a cymbal tossed at their...

    Thoughts? I just now saw it. Just finished. I have some thoughts but maybe they're half-baked. I identified a lot. I had a similar but no so intense of an experience and after a time I embraced it as positive. I need to process this for a minute.... It took me a lot longer to process and...

    Great Bill Evans performance. ' Waltz for Debbie' is a fun classic... with Scott LaFaro on bass!!!!

    the jazz thread

    I'm a Kurt Elling fan and being a bass player I'm particularly fond of this performance. Is it Jazz? I suppose it is. The lyrics are a poem written by Theodore Roethke. The Waking by Theodore Roethke : The Poetry Foundation

    Bless you for hosting the jam session, Jimbo. Those are so important. Musicians always need a place to go to make music with other musicians. Sometimes we get disconnected for different life reasons. Back in the late 80s after three years of a disastrous marriage (my first of two) when I hardly...

    In Before the Lock.

    I believe this is something very misunderstood about the Outside.

    In Before the Lock.

    Is this change going to hurt? Will I dream? Will we lose our history?

    No. There's no mistake. It is Him.

    Here he is again. You be the judge. I say it's God playing bass.

    I believe God is the bass player here.... but I might be wrong.... but I don't think so.

    World War 1 and World War 2 discussion, debate and revisionism.

    You are in the Lounge, AnthonyB. The gateway to the Outside is marked "Morituri". http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/morituri/ It's advisable to read the sticky note left by rolygate before entering. You would be most welcome to start your thread again there. See ya ! :)

    World War 1 and World War 2 discussion, debate and revisionism.

    Which is precisely why the Outside exists. I'm surprised they didn't send you there directly. If that's something you really want to discuss and go deep (possibly), then that's the place at ECF to do it properly. You'd have to be open to strong differing opinions but you'll find some people...

    World War 1 and World War 2 discussion, debate and revisionism.

    The title of this thread alone, assuming that it's sincere in scope... That's a deep subject and would probably yield more satisfactory result on the Outside section of ECF. That is if people want to hold a serious discussion about it and don't mind dodging the occasional trolls. Should that...

    I just found this video posted by one of the studio people. This is what I had to go on when I went in for the session and I was a bit terrified but Jimmy looks and sounds confident with even less to go on. I think I like it better without the bass! :lol: The CD recording sounds so compressed by...

    As a trio of let's face it, old dudes that have been around some, we don't tend to "copy" the original artists as much as play in of the style of them and interpret that as befits our numbers, instruments, talents or whatever... and yes Pat is a huge force. He does sound like 3 people at times...

    For Dave. It seems that this video was uploaded to Youtube in 2010 but it's still one of our most requested tunes right here in SoCal. Forgive me if I've posted this before. I always think of Dave when we play it. .... and I'm invisible out of sight on the right as usual.
