BASS PLAYER’S 23RD PSALM

The Lord is my drummer, I shall not rush,
He maketh me to layout in tasteful places,
He leadeth me beside cool meter changes,
He restoreth my “one.”

Yeah, man, though I read through the trickiest of charts,
I will fear no train ...wrecks,
For You are with it.

Your ride and Your snare they comfort me,
You setteth up a solo for me

In the presence of mine guitarists,
You anointeth my lines with drive,
My groove overfloweth.

Surely good feel and swing will follow me
Through all the tunes of each set,
And I will dwell in the pocket the whole gig long.

Amen.

That's absolutely GREAT! Half my group playing for the last 50 years has been on bass.

Thanks so much!

I have done stints as the bass player in bands over the uears. This absolutely cracked me up.
