The bass barbeque

[Martin Sheridan]

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

Is this where you burn and barbecue all the basses that are not worth fixing?

[Martin Sheridan]

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.

Hmmm, well, he didn't specify DB from EB, so, sounds like the "secret sauce" is out. To answer your question: No, I wasn't talking about DB's.
