Bass Tabs

I am watching the Saints game and learning the Bass. I have a list to start with that I flagged last night. I am practicing at 1/2, 3/4 then normal speed. I am so glad the pitch is not changing. When I was learning how to play the flute in my yoot, I practiced 33 RPM albums at 16 RPM...

Love & Breakup Songs

No all is fine. I just like the brooding nature of some of these these songs. One thing led to another as I was posting and not all were brooding. I do not pay attention to lyrics. But, like the character Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory who has to learn about sarcasm, I have over time gotten clues about...

Could It Be Magic – Barry Manilow

While I did not like Brandy, I immediately was drawn to this song. My favorite part is the note drop at around 3:30. I also like the part at 3:45. The 1992 digitally remastered version is here. I will have to ask my son Cliff what it is called in music. I will call it maybe a minor descending scale....

Four notes at end of the bridge

Cold as Ice (Foreigner) has notes I wait for at the end of the bridge. I used to listen to this and Dust in the Wind (Kansas) before I joined the Navy.

Lightening Strikes – Lou Christie

Love the chorus bass part. I am going to have to find the bass tabs for this. Or write them myself. Other songs by Lou Christie include My parents divorced first. Then, my dad’s sister divorced her husband, my uncle. We did not meet that often. But, after their divorce she gave me one 45, Two Faces Have I. I...

Gary Lewis and The Playboys – Count me In & Others

I am starting to select songs to learn on my UBASS. This one seems to have a fun bass line. This is one of my favs, also.

Songs I played over and over that drove Debbie nuts

I played Surfer Girls by the Beach Boys and This Diamond Ring by Gary Lewis & the Playboys until finally one day, my sister Debbie said, “Stop playing these songs over and over and over and over…”. One day my Gary Lewis record broke. She sat on it “by accident”. I also listened to Reflections of my Life (The Marmalade)...

Keep on Dancing

I owned the 45 of this. We had a great baby sitter who brought 45 records to our house to listen to. Debbie Jardine (I think), her sister Jackie was on Bandstand when it was in black and white. I think she used cardboard toilet paper tubes for big hair rollers. I think they wore flips like the “girl” in...

It’s a Sin

I could dance forever to this! What a great beat. I am not into lyrics — I love strong syncopation, songs that slow or even stop and speed up – Like in Keep on Dancing by the Gentrys. My ex, Pat told Cliff how I have favorite measures or even just notes in songs. One day I will have to...

It’s Raining Men

Mark (brother Mark) remember this one? Great song. Great times. I remember we went clubbing on Thanksgiving one year. Apparently, so did lots of people :-).
