Thanks Kenny. It's a Pendleton hoodie. They make good stuff. I'm very fond of the girlfriend as well. Previously hadn't seen her since 4th grade. Thanks to a certain social networking site, we reconnected and when we eventually decided to meet in person, the attraction was undeniable.

Ah, subtlety is lost on the youth of today...

(actually, she's not dissimilar to Famke Janssen, you lucky devil...

)

So I picked up the Bass Player version today and was comparing to mine. There are some differences that I don't agree with and a few notes that may be more accurate than what I came up with. On the third beat of bars 7 and 9, I don't think open E, G, G# sounds right and should be E, F#, G. Other than that most of it lines up fairly close.

Well, the relationship is over. She lived in Portchester and is moving to Brooklyn for a new job so the cards were stacked against us from the start. On the plus side, I discovered a new Joe Osborn bass line on a track by Bobby Sherman called "easy come, easy go".

Sorry to hear it. She should have listened to Bobby Sherman's "Little Woman."

Good one Dave. Joe's playing on that too. Convincing a city girl to leave Brooklyn behind for Nashua is a tall order. It was a fun fling with a girl from way back in my past. I've got no regrets.

I admit that I am slowing with age, but I do still manage to occasionally learn something. I just learned last week that a Nantucket Sleigh Ride is the resulting whale-powered boat ride you get after landing the harpoon. I enjoy my Missouri Sleigh Rides after hooking big large-mouth bass.

dedicated to lesley west, perhaps. i was always amazed how he could play those tiny gibsons with his size. it looks impossible.
