BassTractor Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) So, what darndest things have you heard kids say about basses, rigs, gigs, bassists, or music and musicians in general? I'll open with: Kasper (3): "Dad, you have so many CDs as only an egoist can have." Martine (4): "Dad, these rockers ... their heads are so filled with rock that there's no place left for intelligence. Now, I like rock too, but at least I have space left for intelligence."

discreet Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Young master discreet (when he was four) as I was practising bass at home: 'Da-ad, stop it! That's making my willy vibrate!' Probably about the right tone then. Bwa-ha-ha-ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChick Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 My nephew is learning that bass is better than guitar. I played him some bass (hes 2) then my hubby played a bit of guitar. "Auntie Deb, yours sounds best" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) I'm currently passing on to my son's other half for the purpose of embarrassment (which is a law in the life of your offspring) the words/phrases he invented when he was learning to talk which have stuck - often into my vocab. If he really liked something edible? "That's my flavourite". Something nasty was "hobbable", and "thirsty" = "thursday". .......... and his ultimate excuse when caught doing anything wrong? "I'm just wee". Sorry for being OT, but it tickles me years later. Edited February 4, 2013 by Big_Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 "turn that crazy music off" - Reuben (5) on hearing Charles Mingus for the first time, and his cousin (also 5) - "Why are all those people singing at the same time?" - on hearing Stevie Wonder.

TheGreek Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 My nephew, now in his 30s, figured how to stay up a bit later: Mum, can I stay up for a minute? Mum, can I stay up for a couple of minutes? Mum, can I stay up for a little while? Mum, can I stay up for a couple of little whiles??..

chrismuzz Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 When I was young the only difference I could distinguish between a guitar and a bass was that the bass was never loud enough. Nothing has changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumps Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 When my boy was about three or four years old we was both sat watching Cars just the little man sat there in his happy little world, I turn to him & ask "Whats your favourite colour?" He ponders this for about 5 minuets going "hmmm erm, errmmmm" I literally saw the flash of idea spread across his face His answer ? "Buns"......... I still laugh about it even to this day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
