    Not Klezmer per se but... well, I'll let Wiki and John Zorn explain... Given the historical associations of the project's name (see Masada), the Hebrew titles of the compositions, the melodic themes and musical structures reminiscent of klezmer music, and the Jewish imagery on the covers of the associated albums, Zorn was clearly exploring his Jewish roots with the Masada songbook and groups. He stated: "The idea with Masada is to produce a sort of radical Jewish music, a new Jewish music which is not the traditional one in a different arrangement, but music for the Jews of today. The idea is to put Ornette Coleman and the Jewish scales together." If you dig it there's eleven albums worth of studio recordings and seven live albums and then tons of offshoots.

    Man I ate so much last time. After lunch every bass I tried seemed to be further away!

    I believe I'm right that @jebroad set up a unique track and trace QR code for the Midlands Bash.

    Unfortunately. I will not be attending but have a great time.

    True. My one moment of doubt was when I heard a thin reedy sound coming from what sounded like the papier-mâché horn of an ancient gramophone, but then I realised it was @Stub Mandrel's rig...

    Just because it reminds me of being dragged to a party by two punk/rude girl crossover ladies in my youth. Ended up in a big old house in Walthamstow that was absolutely rammed with huge skinheads. Now, with my skinhead-popular neon pink mohican, I assumed I was in line for a kicking, however, they turned out to be massively friendly and hugely into music, I should have known by the smell of the place, not glue but weed. Being smashed out of my bonce and dancing to Jamming in a room entirely packed with grinning skinheads is one of my fondest memories from back then. One of the women I was with put on Rock Lobster and I thought the vibe would come crashing down but no, another great memory is the same room totally getting down to the B52s too! Great night, happy times.

    That’s how you got out of setting up last time! 😉

    Likewise, it’s been decades!

    I was just thinking, whilst perusing the glorious variety of music on this most excellent of threads, that whenever I listen to a reggae track these days there is an element to my enjoyment missing and, after a few months of it niggling at the back of my brain during each listen I’ve suddenly realised what it is, I’m not smushed out of my gourd. Odd it should take that long to realise.

    Aerodynes get a bad press I think, loved mine, played like a dream and, as you say, really light. Definitely the best fender I ever had.

    Dragged the cash out of your wallet did I? 🙄 When I was appearing in Captain Scarlet, obviously… 🙄 I had a twang on your Mouse at Clarky’s… Not a sentence you ever envisage constructing really.

    Got myself a @Jabba_the_gut bass and oh man it’s a doozy! I’m a very happy camper indeed…

    Excellent, hope you can make it to the South West Bash.

    The title of my soon to be published autobiography, there.
