Played it at a jazz-jam Monday night and last night at an open-mic thing and it just sings. I'm very happy with it.
Isn't it a great feeling, to know that we can pass these things down? Rock'n'roll christened draws a great mental image! And putting a fretless Jazz Bass in the hands of an eager 14 year old will be a great thing.
Colin's interests are fairly eclectic, but pretty much all good. It's soothing to hear the guitar strains of Bell Bottom Blues wafting up from the basement, until he hits a clam and I visibly flinch. Ten minutes later he's working on some Bowie on the guitar, or some Chicago on the piano he got for Christmas. Then it gets quiet and he careens through the first several lines of Teen Town on the bass. And of course he plays alto sax in the high school pep band. He's going to be a monster player. We'll have to hook the kids up at one of the get-togethers and maybe nurture some long-term musical relationships. These are some of the things that make it great to be a Dad.
