Four times in the last week, I was asked if I was a drummer. This is not the first four times I’ve been asked this question and it won’t be the last. The reason I’m asked this question, is that I constantly go on as if I have a drum kit beside me and tap out rhythms on a desk, on my legs or on anything that comes into contact with me. The answer is No, I’m not a drummer though I am a bassist. Of all the stringed instruments, the bass requires the least amount of talent. That’s why I’m a bassist.

The reason I like it so much is that I’ve played in bands where we thought we were good and had to gig in tiny horrible venues and found ourselves in ridiculous situations playing gigs and recording.
