The bass barbeque
Hello all double bassists.
I'm having the First Annual Bass Barbecue for Double bassists, their spouse, partner, best friend or significant other. Place: 129 Thomas Drive Sycamore, Illinois 60178 It'll be held Sunday afternoon from 1:00-6:00 at my daughter's house. She has a large back yard and a covered area in case it rains. We'll barbecue some pork, you bring a side and what you want to drink. I'll even have some Boca Burgers on hand if you don't eat meat, or bring something else if you like. Bring your bass to show and play (not a requirement), and if you want me to look at it to evaluate it's condition etc, I'll be happy to do that. We're getting together just to have some fun and hope you can come. Please RSVP: martin@martinsheridan.com so that we'll know how many to prepare for. best, martin |
Annual Bass Barbecue??
Is this where you burn and barbecue all the basses that are not worth fixing?:confused:
|
Yes
Actually, I've thought about doing a cardboard cutout and burn it in the backyard pit ala The Burning Man.
But no, no basses will be scracrificed to the bass gods. |
Lol!

So much for posterity....
"Read PAST the headlines"? Before, it said "bassists". He edited his headline at 2:27 PM and changed the opening. NOW it reads "double bassists".

double
Yes, I did edit it to say "double" bassists and not bassists. Now, if you are a double bass wannabe and want to find out more about the double bass and meet some real live double bass players who can answer your questions, please feel free to come, but please email me so that I have a count.
martin@martinsheridan.com thanks |

If I could just get a lefty electric, I could join in. I gots lots of rightys, but I don't want to restring. Plus, the closer will be Richard having obligations that prevent his attendance. Probably a good thing though, he is a bit of a firebug. :)

This Sunday
The Bass Barbecue is this Sunday. IF you haven't RSVPd yet, please do.
Looks like we'll have a nice group. best, |
so???
This was a month ago?
What happened? Nothing to report? How was it? How was the food? Who showed up we might know? |
yum yum
We had a small but well attended Bass Barbecue. My son in law cooked up some pork shoulder; actually loins I think. Very good. It was a lot of fun and we'll do it again next year, possibly earlier in the summer. It turned out that some of the bassist who wanted to come had to move into their dorms that day in other cities.
Peter Tambroni and Virginia Dixon came. They are both well known teachers in our area, and Virginia does clinics in Colorado and even Japan as well as the Richard Davis Foundation for Young Bassists. She's the author of the book on Suzuki bass. Peter brought some quartets but we spent too much time yaking and didn't get around to playing them. However we were well fed and everyone enjoyed themselves. Next week I'll begin working on a copy of J B Vuillaume. I'm letting go of the notion of a cornerless for the time being. |
a what?

Just a thought, what did you use for fuel at the bass barbeque? I hope it wasn't a Smith Burner! :D:D:D
