Bill, gosh darn it, you've just reaffirmed my faith in mankind. Well, not 'mankind', exactly, but that is one fine looking bass.

Black on black, rosewood board - if you can't get it done with that bass, then you can't get it done with ANY bass.

Man, where can I gets me some "swamp pop"?

Other than by going to those multi-soda dispensers and mixing them all up together?

 

[dlloyd]

Nice bass, very shiny!

Welcome.

You don't happen to know how to play "Paper in my Shoe", do ya?
I love that song. Can't remember who performs the version I've heard, though.

Actually, yes! We play that song at almost every gig. Neat little tune.

Welcome...do you drink beer??

Sometimes....is that what makes me dream of Bongos?

Sorry, I'm late, but will a hey Bill still work? I'm trying to get moved in to school, and everyone looked weirdly at me when I brought in my gK 212 and a rack, a set of vdrums, aren't they weird. Anyways, glad to see you joined!

I know the feeling. I had a G**tar and Marshall mini-stack at my student room. A friend of mine and I often ended up playing it in the middle of the night! That's why I sometimes had complaints. Even once security knockin on my door. So hide your instrument cable when you think you'll be drunk that evening

+1 I had an aluminum-necked Kramer bass in my school daze. Remember those ones with the "pitch-fork" headstock? That got some comments (Q: "Do you play death-metal?" A: "No.") I had a 35w Kustom practice amp. Boy, the sound of that thing distorting, echoing off the concrete walls...bloody awful!!!

Welcome, Bill.

Bill,

That is really cool! When my buddies and I go up to my camp for a weekend of boozin' and fishin' and burning things, we usually get lit and listen to a lot of music.

One of the Cd's that always seems to get played is a collection of zydeco and 'cajun' music, which happens to have 'paper in my shoe' on it. My good friend Dave once performed a hilarious drunken dance to that song, and nobody has ever been able to forget it!

Welcome aboard.

edit: Dave's dance, for the record, was fueled by his peculiar decision to take a wineskin along for a long hike earlier that day. Now, carrying a wineskin would generally be a good idea in such a situation, to prevent dehydration. However, he opted to fill his with good old Bacardi silver rum, thus forever earning him the nickname "Captain Rumsack" among our circle of friends.

 

[Bill]

That's hilarious, Steve!

Yeah, I'm not even sure who originally wrote and/or recoreded "Paper in my Shoe," but it's a good song for all of the dancers to do their thing.

Welcome Bill,
I like your kind of music.
Joel ??(have no idea how to spell his last name) I could listen to for guite a while.
Jimmy Newman ain't bad either.

 

[Fuzzy Dustmite]

Welcome, Bill!

Throw some sparkles and a matching headstock on that bad boy, and it'd look just like mine!

 

[Bill]

Thanks, y'all!

Jo-El Sonnier, by any chance? If that's who you mean, I enjoy his music, too. I was playing a gig one night & he showed up & sat in with the band.

I also played a couple of tunes with Jimmy C. Newman & Wayne Toups once.

Man, I love Wayne Toups and Zydecajun. They are one rockin' band!

I saw them live once a long time ago and I've never forgotten what a great show they put on.

Yeap, that's them; it's been awhile; I'm getting old; can't remember as well as?
Or, could I ever... what were we talking about?

I've been pickin' for quite a few years, that's for sure! I enjoy discussion groups related to my hobbies, so it's great to sign up with a new one (for me).

(I have over 10,000 posts on another forum that I haunt. )
