[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1396827658' post='2417813'] I think I'm gonna have to be checking out more of her stuff . One of my first bass tutors gave me a copy of Hejira ages which I've still got and think is amazing. We watched a live film last year in a lecture, but apart from the 'Both sides now' album, that's my only exposure to her. [/quote] you much variety and quality to catch up on then!

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]He bought her a diamond for her throat He put her in a ranch house on a hill She could see the valley barbecues From her window sill See the blue pools in the squinting sun Hear the hissing of summer lawns[/font]

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1396808828' post='2417584'] Joni Mitchell ? Quite simply , sublime. What is often overlooked about her is that she is an incredible singer from a technical standpoint - she seems incapable of singing off-key - and capable of effortlessly switching her vocal skills from one style of music to the next. Add to that natural, God-given ability her amazing craft as a songwriter and bandleader and you begin to see the monumental size of her talent . [/quote] yes yes yes all of that and where to start on the lyrics !

on the heels of my Zappa thread, I thought how about a thread for any paraphenalia on the lady who is undoubtedly one of our era's most important and influential female artists not to mention the Jaco connection of course with[b][i] that [/i][/b]live band take it away!

ten months? you could have reasonably had 8-10 gigs by now

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1396649386' post='2416199'] Capo at first fret. Sorted. [/quote] yes and dont forget to hack out the inlay markers and woodfiller and redrill new ones in the new positions [quote name='alembic1989' timestamp='1396709788' post='2416660'] The thing is I suppose it depends if you play 1 finger per fret [/quote] aaaaaaaaarrghhhhhhhhh

it will help your sight reading and pitch too - most choral stuff is fairly easy reading to be honest tenor or bass ? - if you choose tenor it will help your reading with both treble and bass clefs

how long have you got?

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1396461675' post='2414004'] Although I think he is a damned fine singer, I actually preferred the Doobies pre Michael Macdonald. My fave album of theirs and one I still regularly play, What Were Once Vices are Now Habits. [/quote] marvellous album - i remember this getting much airplay on radio caroline

[quote name='alibabu' timestamp='1396289027' post='2411916'] Could it be the Stompin´at the Savoy record with Rufus and Chaka Khan Live from 1983? That is my all time favorite CK record, and it is available on Spotify, at least here in Norway. [/quote] thanks - no not this one - more like slow dancin or facts of love not so funky but rockin and grindin oooer missus

[quote name='McBass' timestamp='1396276705' post='2411697'] This is mental.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hySlWc29m2s[/media] [/quote] isnt it just - her phrasing is something else

well ...after dissing my favourite strings i will let you off for posting this wonderful piece of grooviness i also recall hearing a Rufus/CK track on the wireless a few years ago and cannot remember the name or find it anywhere - was about 8 ish minutes long more rock than funk - think it was a live track but thats all can recall edit - the nearest ive bveen able to find is Egyptian Song from 1977 album Ask Rufus - was a similar sort of style but no strings and much more rocky

how much can you afford to lose? If you can happily withstand a financial loss equivalent to the price of this item then why not give it a punt? he might turn out to be totally honest and genuine and unfalteringly reliable

im going with Lozz on this one - i wouldnt mind a small wager that the frontsperson of this band is some stroppy little shortarse diva who doesnt like the fact that your vertical excessiveness will distract from their irritatingly indulgent narcissitic exuberance tea and biscuits anyone?

i once bought the CD single of disposable heroes of hiphoprisy Television - does that count?

something like this perhaps? http://www.artisanmodelmakers.co.uk/LaserCutting/LaserCutLetters.aspx

ive used a company called arcola plastics but there will be many others around who will cnc or laser cut using a dxf file which you supply them of your vector linework

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1396004136' post='2408836'] This is the paradox of the modern world - that nothing is valid unless it is seen through the lens of accepted media. No experience can possibly be valid unless it can be shared with other people and endlessly deconstructed via social media. Which is why I'm starting The Campaign for Real Reality, in which everyone experiences life at first hand - no smartphones, iPads or any other portable devices are allowed and neither is the insidious waste of time that is the public online forum - furthermore, I... ...oh crap. [/quote] pics or it never happened

school night charity fundraiser raised over 1000 for NSPCC great sound because of carpet in venue and absolute packed out with acoustic meat dampening - rather good curry too (event was in a large indian resaurant) unfortunately with the starters pakoras and bhajis and stuff i used my fingers instead of knife and fork - even though i thought id wiped my hands clean the residue left on my fingertips proceeded to generate a most unusual sticky/tacky sensation with the strings and i spent most of the gig playing as though i felt as if i had half dried superglue on my finger tips

can put up with crap acoustics and crap venue and crap beer and all manner of other crap things but the one thing that really grips my sh*t is trying to see through a sea of smartphone screens
