I finished playing the show, the jam session was starting. I handed my bass to a friend of mine and I went outside the venue to refresh my head, accompanying a few smokers from the audience. After a bit of small talk, I continued “…and so I’m mostly playing music these days.” My interlocutor smiled and said, “oh, you play music, so cool!”
That’s the bass player life!

Mustang Sally is the #Bassist's bane!
Everyone plays it different, but tells you #ItsJustLikeTheRecord.
Use the OP bass line, they look at you funny. Or opposite: grin, think they're going OP, but wander further away.
You tweak as you go to match.
By the chorus you're just pulling it out your ass as you go, and everyone is just eating that shit up, dancing, hootin' and hollerin' along.
I hate it (but love it) when the BL calls #MustangSally.
Well, I'm a solo artist again for the first time in many, many years.
I have no free time for the next four months so it's pointless to waste everyone's time reaching out to other folk. Being mindful of that, I must also be mindful not to rebound into the first opportunity that comes along: there's not a lot of long-term satisfaction there either.
So I'll commit to practicing during whatever spare time I get to reach fighting weight for what comes next.
