Sometimes You Just Don't Know What To Say....

This is so cool.

Hey, now I can come over and play the damn thing!!! See ya Sat. bro-

Any old time, Rayban.

For those of you who don't know, Ray was unsure about Bongos until he heard BP playing "my" bass on one of the Open House video clips.

He made little animal noises for a while then said, "Yeah. Get me one of those."

Thy will be done. I can also screw him up during "Long Tall Texan", even in rehearsal. He sings that line, "I'm a long tall texan, I wear a ten gallon hat", .

As a lover of deep meaningful lyrics, can you tell me what the words are between "Well people look at me and say" and "Is that your horse?"

I just want to hear it.

 

[hmagman]

It's a great tribute to you Jacko! You deserve it!!!

 

[RockinRayDuke]

Jon, IIRC the words are "oh lawd oh lawd is that your horse". Now I haven't heard it in a while until the Cowpilot rehearsal. They may have very well rewritten it for all I know.

I'll be taking pics of them Saturday with Jack's fantastic digital Nikon. If he brings it, that is.


Yep. BP sold me big time. I need to see the DVD again to steal, I mean borrow some of his licks.

 

[jongitarz]

Ray, I bleeb you are right. I just wanted to make Jack say it.

 

[RockinRayDuke]

I forget who's singing that one, Jack or Brian. I think it's Brian which means Jack will have the vocal line in question. heh heh. Maybe Jack should also bring the video camera......

 

[Mobay45]

Maybe Jack's Nikon will actually show him playing an EB bass. Not like my Olympus last summer.

Thanks, Harry. I've been thinking about it a bit tonight while replacing the strap buttons with straplocks, and while I don't want to seem overly kiss-@ss, I will say this. The Flaming Biff Bongo was one thing. The man had a custom, one-off, never to be replicated elsewhere bass built for me. (Although I seem to recall, and I was drinking, that he said "Oh, there's one more, just in case...")

But I probably don't deserve the BP Bongo. You guys who played it know that it's one hell of a bass, but beyond that, even, it was Biff's go-to instrument, and he just sent it to ME.

I tell you, lads, I'm really not worthy. This one is even more special than the Flaming Biff, in a way. The BPB. The guy sent me HIS bass.

You know how Stevie Ray had "SRV" in those shiny stick-on letters on his Strat? This one needs 'BPB" on it.

Hot damn, Biff. I never imagined that I'd have a bass that meant more to me than the Logan Green Flaming Biff Bongo, but by God, I think you've done it.

"Oh lawd oh lawd is that my Bongo?"

We'll get lots of photos this weekend, and none of them will be of me playing a "Lipstick Xerox", heh heh.

I'm not worthy, I promise all of you that, but I'll do what I can with it.

You've got 'The Prize', Jack!

Bet you can't wait to gig it.

 

[bovinehost]

You've got 'The Prize', Jack!

Without a doubt. You - and all the Open House guys - know about this bass.

How do I live up to it? I don't know, but it will be at the Lone Star Road House this weekend. You think Steve Morse or Luke will show up?

Dude you must be drinking again....


How about never say never...I neer thought someone would want to learn one of my licks.

Truth be told Jack cowpilot actually took up a collection and paid me for the bass so they wouldn't have to suffer through your low b addiction. " he just gets lost and we see this crazed look in his eye...spittle and drool sweat while searching for the root.......The only condition to them buying it is that I promised that Dargin would not sell him a fretless 5 as long as the band is together.

Remember real studs play single h bongo FOURS!

 

[Psycho Ward]

BP, I don't want to learn one of your licks, I want to steal all of them!

That stuff you were doing at the concert on that Silo Bass still blows me away.






Oh, if you ever could find it in your great heart to build a left handed one..... well, a man can dream can't he...

One of my favorite morning thigs is to read the Dude's deleted posts.

Oh yeah, me, too.

Nothing like a cup of coffee with my finger poised over the edit/delete function!

It's the "Terrible Automobile Accident" syndrome, or the "Naked Fat Person" syndrome...you don't want to look and yet.........

BP, it's cool if your licks are in demand. But by golly I hope the Dude's never get popular.

Dude's DNA has seen more geography than David Lee Roth's!

One of the best reasons in the world to work midnight shift. When Dude gets on a roll, I get to see 'em all before they get deleted!
