I always love to hear the deeply insightful thoughts of people who have never been on a stage in their lives and who don't understand the complexities of singing and playing bass at the same time.

Try this if you haven't watched it already... Scott Thunes on bass who really wound Zappa's band up if I remember right.

I suppose it is more honest to declare that you've split, if you don't intend to re-group. I can think of a few bands who kept their fans hanging on in vain hope for years. And some whose reunions were genuinely that.

I would think it's partly because they have been played to death over many years. Plus the 60's bands are not getting the Radio 2 plays that they used to. They are moving more towards playing stuff from this century only. As we get a little older, it will move towards the kind of identikit crap computer music that I can't bear, which meant I stopped listening to Radio 1 about 20 years ago.

Lockdown has done nothing at all for my bass playing. I have all of the time in the world to do home recording, but no ideas. I feel like giving up, but I know that we will regroup when this is over. But I can't see us gigging until next year at the earliest.
