BASER INSTINCTS

OK, I know that I have been mean about double bass players in the past but that was before I knew that women played the instrument too. Somehow they add a little Je ne sais quoi to the equation.



I can't quite put my finger on it.

My discovery came after browsing and seeing some clips from Esperanza Spalding. I am a convert.

Obviously a cutsy appeal.But she's not playing harmonics and only using a little cut down version of a proper bass.

Says it has been removed. Probably indecent and not something a godbotherer should see.

Does using a smaller bass make your bum look bigger?

Second: Why should she be playing harmonics, I don't understand.

TSB: Get your eyes off the woman, that's a bloody cello!

You are right, there is no reason why she should be playing harmonics. It was a silly comment that I wish I hadn't made.

I've been in Auckland all week at a work seminar with Bayleys who I'm joining soon.

Don't let that get in the way of your blogsging.

When I discover what 'blogsging' is I'll certainly make sure that other activities don't get in the way of it.

Oh goody, can you get me free samples of their Irish Cream Liquor?
