preparing for a gig...

[strummer]

Tonight we're playing a birthday party on a boat, and packing my gear I realized that I'm not too unhappy I couldn't get a Dargie Delight.
Both Bongos play fantastically, and I love them.

 

[tiffles]

Does that mean you're keeping them both then?

Magnus,

I've never played in the key of "H" before!

 

[Alvabass]

Magnus,

I've never played in the key of "H" before!

Sure you did. "H" is the European designation for "B" (And "B" is the name given to "B flat" there).

Great sets, Magnus! But why "Play That Funky Music" in F? I can't imagine myself starting that line with something different than a good ol' open E.

 

[oddjob]

You have 2 great looking basses and I would also slow to selling off one of them.

Those are some great sets... oh, to have set lists again (my singer/guitarist just calls 'em as we go)

 

[strummer]

Magnus,

Hah, Alva already explained it, Steve, so I'll tell you something funnier. Our band leader doesn't know the first thing about music theory, so the "keys" are actually the first note she plays in every song

Confusing is that nowadays B means B, so we have B flat, B and sometimes H, but never H flat.

Well, I learned something from you and Alva, and got some good laughs, too! I like that in a thread..

We have too many subs, so we need set lists. This gig was with only one sub, the singer, but we're a 5 piece with 7 subs so far

[ProgHead]

I know Switzerland is not part of the European Community, but we also use CDEFGAB (or, here in the Italian speaking part Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si)

[MingusBASS]

Si? Sure it's not Ti? Maybe it's different there.

 

[LowDownDave]

Yes, I'm intrigued how your translation of the Sound of Music worked for that song!

 

[mrpackerguy]

Can you say "funkified?"
