[Paul Warburton]

I'm ALL about ears. I learned to play the bass with them. ( no, I don't have any calluses on them) To this day, I couldn't survive musically without a pair of pretty well honed ones. Being self-taught, and being fairly under educated in any real literal musical sense, I would have been dead in the water many years ago without them.

And PLEASE, let's don't get into that silly Van Gogh stuff. Been there, done that.
And PLEASE, Kenny Boy...let's don't get into any more of that swapping of our experiences with Bill, Eddie, Chuck, Marty and ALL the boys again. We went there many times before.
Maybe we should each make copies of that ****, and post them as attachments. ( as you would say...."LOL" ).

And yes, If you keep your nose in the REAL BOOK it will help cripple your ears.
