i dont agree with this "best bassist/guitarist/drummer...whatever" but surely the top of the pile must be...chris squire of yes  he plays bass and lead at the same time?

but surely if your taste is heavy rock your choice will be different to someone who prefers country, or jazz. the question is moot.

It's not a question of taste but of talent.

I think it's great. I like that some of the lyrics don't make sense to me. Kinda of a mystery about it. Would be great to hear it, though.

Every time I hear you, you get better. I really liked playing this one. Its nice to have speakers now so I can actually hear how it's suppose to go. Only bound by our imaginations is a really good line. Sorry I havent been commenting theses days but with out the speakers it seemed kinda pointless. Great job, anyways.

Yeah, I really like this one. Your words ring true in very sense and I can tell this comes from the heart. Your wife had to of shed a tear when you sang this to her. I know mine would have! Well done indeed.

I really like your song but when I tried to listen it wouldn't let me.

Robert Truillo: Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves.
Matt Freman: Operation Ivy and Rancid (best punk rock bassist ever!!)
The bass player from Nomeansno (Canadian white boys with rhythm!)
The bass player for Rodney Crowell. (don't know is name but he is good!!)
and my all time favorite: Bootsy Collins

That's sounds like the beginning of a John Prine song!

I'd love too but I'm in Texas and I don't know how the whole time difference thing would work out. You cant give up on it if its something you love to do. I have the same problem, non musical family and no one to jam with. You will get better but it takes time. Take every little break through you have and wear it with pride. Stick to chordie. Talking to musicians inspires me, if their level headed. Music theory is beyond me so I'm no help there. Surround yourself with all things musical and if people tell you you suck, tell'em to stuff it. I live in a house where playing anything but gangsta rap is frowned upon and the ones I love tell me my music sucx. I don't let it bother me, instead it makes me stronger and more confident in where my music is going. When I first started all I could play you was the first few bars of Nirvana's Come as you are.(badly) Now  i can play Blackbird almost flawlessly(not bragging, just an accomplishment I wear proudly on my sleeve)
Sorry this is so legnthy but I feel your pain!

Sorry.  I guess I'm one of them.  Earlier, I posted "Ringo and Liberty DeVitto" as my personal favorites.  My post about the Revolutionary War drummers was just an attempt at injecting some history and humor into a conversation that could go on forever without reaching a conclusion.

I dont think any of that was directed at you, PapaTom. And I agree, those guys where nuts!! The drummers that is.
