I was a a Buddy Di Franco jazz festival when Buddy said "If you are every wondering who in a band is the craziest, it's always the bass player".
I'm here to tell ya!
Old joke. What do you call (insert musical instrument ) a bass player who breaks up with his girlfriend…..Homeless.
Good thing you got Ruthie my friend

Off in there own world? Well there is a reason for that…..
I sent this to a musician friend (choral singer but originally a bass player/jazz lover), and whose son, Adrian, after a very "difficult" few years as a teenager, is now, at 28, a fully-employed grad student in Chemical Engineering of one of Canada's top technical colleges. He wrote:
"I resemble that remark."
So, I have a beautiful, varnished natural wood, fretless bass guitar which I never play anymore... Adrian taught himself to play it when he was a young teenager, and, I should add, with damned impeccable intonation. Subsequently, Adrian and I were downtown at Tom Lee Music [big music/instrument retailer up here] once, and Adrian was trying some other bass guitars, just for fun. The sales rep commented that Adrian was pretty darned good. I told him that Adrian had taught himself to play my fretless bass, to which the guy said "Nobody can start on a fretless!?!" I replied, "Tell him that!"
Anyways, Adrian was having fun playing that bass again when he was here, and I offered to send it (somehow) out to Toronto. He was ecstatic!
I just have to figure out how to send it to Toronto without it arriving in several pieces...

From '95 on this is what I did most of my work with.

I'm guilty of Nos.1, 3 and 5 in my stupid high school days. Took a border run to W. Virginia in those crazy days to purchase. The Boones Farm was Strawberry Hill....

I have the merit badges for all and then some. If my liver ever catches fire it will burn like a duraflame log.
