I'm certainly not 'into' bluegrass, but I happened to hear this, and I love it!

Sorry if posted already - but this just came into my mind:

Agreed. Very beige IMHO too. I'll just leave this here :

Wow!

Trained at the Boston conservatory, and teaches at Princeton. Not a bad CV according to Wiki! 👍

Omg, I forgot Bridget Kearney from Lake Street Dive. Great band, and she's a monster player!

Is that one of those serious Peavey basses that weighs 2 tons? Sorry, 2000kg. 👍

Correction: It was this young lady I was thinking of: One P bass looks very like another...

I seem to remember that this young lady is on BC:

Err, who hasn't been mentioned... depending on what music you like, there's Nik West: And Ayse Hassan from Savages... Or neither! 😃

Great intro - Welcome Rob 👍

Is there any guarantee that you and your bass would be seated next to each other?

Uptown top ranking - Althea and Donna

Set fire to a bus shelter?

Weird thread alert.

Shut it Tony. 😄

Roxy Music! OMG I'd forgotten about them... Virginia Plain was the only decent song, and that wasn't an album track. Maybe Love Is The Drug has it's moments, but the rest of it was art school, psychedelic, growing your hair a bit like Phil Oakey, buying a fu*king castle! - Pap. No offence.

Aye, I like watching players play. I think our only duty in this regard is to try to look 'good' on stage. Whatever that means. But is it something that should be rehearsed...?

Rub some bacon fat on there. 👍

I've never been to one. Tell a lie, once. A Sunday lunchtime jam-thingy with a couple of guys who I was sort of in a drummer-less band with, but not seriously. We'd jammed a bit. It was terrible. Embarrassing. Singer/gtr player thought we'd just have a spot on our own. The three of us. Except maybe a drummer would join in. So when there was a lull with the 'house band', as if they might have been thinking about having a break, we shuffled up towards the stage end of the room with our guitars on! I think we did one of the singer's songs (his best one. It was actually really good. He said somebody else had recorded it and he was really mad about that. So I don't know if it was really his song or if he co-wrote it or something 🤷‍♀️). Anyway I got through that alright, as it was the main song we'd jammed, and it was pretty simple to play on the bass. I'd followed mostly what I was given on a demo. But it was catchy! Then our 'band leader' started playing the chords to Start by The Jam. I thought ok... I know this one, it starts with the bass. So I should be playing by now. So I then started playing, and we went through a few bars without the singer singing - then before he did start singing, a couple of the 'house guitars' joined in. Playing what soon turned out to be Taxman. Which it turns out is a very different song! That 'we' didn't really know how to play. The singer was so freaked out he didn't try to sing either song. It was a really bad Start / Taxman instrumental stand-off. With no drummer. Then a few more awkward minutes before 'we' left. I say 'we' because I wasn't really in a band with the other two.

I was just wondering like. I mean, does it even matter down the Dog and Duck? Would you get beaten up by the punters if you bounced around a bit? Or banned from the pub? Hopefully not. But like, whether you do a little or a lot - people are watching you. 😬 lol

The Dandy Warhols. I thought Bohemian Like You was great, but the rest of the album had none of that Rolling Stones vibe. And I doubt their 9 or 10 other albums did either. 🤷‍♂️

Carole Kaye does what you describe with a (felty?) pick. I think.

I happened to watch a documentary / interviews about the making of Aja. Unlimited* production budget, Chuck Rainey, Bernard Purdie! Neat songs with clever chords... what's not to like? Don't think I've heard any of their other albums. Or anything by The Span. 🤷‍♂️
