Music For Bass Lovers

Once I read this articles at Bass Player Magazine, I was laughing and thinking that this articles sometimes can be true, but not always. Then I showed to many friends and most of them comment,"yeah....that's right." This articles written by Robin Meloy Goldsby, a pianist married to bassist John Goldsby whom popular with his book "Jazz Bass Book".

A great bassist is an ensemble player, a team member who executes, with confidence, a vital role in any band with the strength of his groove, the steadiness of his rhythm, and the imaginative logic of his harmonic lines. This doesn't just apply to the bassist's music. It also applies to his outlook on life. A bass-player husband will be loyal, true, and interesting, and will help you emerge from life's challenges looking and sounding better than you ever imagined. If you're in a bad mood, don't worry. He'll change keys. On the other hand, if you marry a pianist, he'll try to arrange everything and then tell you what your disposition should be. If you marry a guitarist, he'll try to get ahead of you by analyzing your temperament in double-time. If you marry a drummer, it won't matter what kind of mood you're because he'll just forge ahead with his own thing. A bass player follows along, supports you, and makes you think that everything is okay, even when the world is crashing down around you.
If you marry the bass player, you marry the bass. Buy one get one free. Your husband will be passionate about his music, which will grant you the freedom to be passionate about the things you do. You might not worship the bass as much as he does, but you'll love the bass player more every day.

Because I'm a bass player, so I agree with this articles. No offense to other instrument player, this just for fun isn't it........
