The Grits Thread.

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.

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!
...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.

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?

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

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