BASS MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND

No matter to whom you perform, it's the engagement and response of
the audience that makes a show fun. A really good audience can be
children, because seeing them stomp and move and run with joy makes
you smile and feel good about your artistic contribution to the next
generation. Equally important is the encouragement of making that
next generation, which sometimes requires good vibes, alcohol and a
bass solo. Now most people at the mention of a bass solo think of
overindulgent musicians and/or Moose mating calls. We at BLUE ON
GREEN challenge such thinking. One night at O'NEIL'S IRISH PUB in
San Mateo, BLUE ON GREEN performed to a particularly wily crowd
dancing to our rendition of a rocking blues number called "I CAN'T
HOLD OUT". I don't know what got into me. Maybe it was a lapse in my
judgment, but I called out for a bass solo after the second verse.
The thump-thump of the acoustic bass suddenly dominated the sound, as
I announced to the dancing mass that it was time to get it on with
that "big bottom". Suddenly a woman appeared with her backside to
the band. As I explained the finer nature of the tones of the "low
down" bass, this woman proceeded to repeatedly spank her behind,
egging on the bassist. There was no stopping her, or the bass solo.
As she continued, the crowd danced and waved their hands into a frenzy, as the
bass summed up the force behind the cycle of life, "it's that low down bottom
end that make the world go round."
