Warning
 

Anselm and Richard - you have exceeded the limit of off topic postings for the grits thread. Your punishment shall consist of a slap on the wrist and a promise to be better persons and more importantly, better bassists. :)

oren, i am sorry. please forgive me!

being a better bassist is what i try everyday

ps: if you could write my name correct i would be more than happy,and promise to never post off topic here again :)

Oren,
I too am very sorry for getting off topic.
I think it was Ken's off topic stuff on the TalkBass Nonsense thread that first led me astray. Up until that point of time, I don't think I've ever been off topic on a thread.
Like Anselm (not that guy Anslem) I also try to be a better bassist every day.

All is forgiven, I hope. :D

There was a scoop of grits that had fallen on my screen and that contributed to my hypo typo. Sorry Anselm. :o

I know - it's all Ken's fault. I think that maybe he had some grits on his screen too. And you're right, you've never posted an off topic post on any thread that I'm aware of. ;)

I've just returned from a concert by the band Simple Folk. They are based in Asheville, in the mountains of North Carolina about 2 hours from me. Very impressive. Great 3 part harmonies and musicianship. The bass player played a 5 string Lakland through a small combo amp that I didn't recognize the name on. Pretty good bassist. Unusual playing area on the neck. I'd say that he played 80% of the tunes at, and mostly above the 9th fret and a lot at the double dots, very high up the neck. To each his own I guess. Didn't have to stretch his left arm much. :)

Oren, please stop the edisodic posting!

Ken once told me that, on a site like this, you post something then someone else replies.
He said that, if you keep posting, who are you talking to?


You see, I do listen to what Ken says. Lol!:D:D
...and sometimes I even use his favourite humour indicator.

Simple Folk? Not a great name. Doesn't make them sound very bright.
There was once a trio Down here (NZ) called 'Opus 3'.
Some people referred to them as the 'hopeless three'.
Well, they weren't very good.

WARNING! Edisodic(?) post.
 

Edisodic must be a native word for NZ and/or RP. Please explain. :confused:

Well my gritless friend, I think that in many cases, you are talking to your super-ego, Count My Bassie Notes. You dig?

Don't you mean listen to some of what Ken says? :D:D

Okay, my friend with a taste for unconventional food, I admit that Ken made a mistake once - I'm talking about post #59.
