from Dickens' "The Tale of the Moops"

all the little bass players gathered in a moop...
they jostled each other to hear what The Great Lead Guitar Player had to say...
The Great Lead Guitar Player (GLGP) waved his arm above his head and asked them, "What have you been up to, as of late...?"
"Have you been practising your roots and fifths...?"
"Why, yes!", they all chimed...
"Such a good moop!", whispered the The Great Lead Guitar Player...
"And have you practiced the Golden Rule of Low Frequency Simplicity...?"
Suddenly - a hush ensued over a part of the moop... hushed and blushed...! "Oh, my...", muttered The Great Lead Guitarist...
after which The Great Lead Guitar Player doled out the castor oil accordingly...
and the moop quickly dispersed... amid chuckles of laughter from The Great Lead Guitar Player and his band...

i found this little tale today while dusting offf my Dickens Bookshelf...
hope you like it...

cheers!

i was thinking lately of what i would do if i were surrounded by a group of irritable bass players...
(Has this ever happened to you...?)
how would i describe that collective group...?
so i came up with, and very much prefer the term "bassoon"...
as in, "surrounded by a crazed bassoon of bass players..."
also,
The Great Lead Guitar Player turned to suddenly find that he was chased by a bassoon of bass guitarists...
The great bassoon grew and grew until it became a thong - creating a rift between the two opposing creeks and causing men to fall in awe of the great pass...

i think that i much prefer "bassoon" to "moop"...
i don't like the term "bass tard"... as in, "A basstard of underpaid musicians entered the club owner's office..."
time marches on...!
