I think from your latest I can deduce how bass could enhance your music. (as opposed to just playing a bass part to fill it in)

This is "So Long Maryanne" Leonard Cohen - acoustic song with a dead serious and punchy bass player in the back which brings out the song quite a but..

Nice tune man.

Talbot

Very Nice piece PD!
You've got a little McCartney at times, then Daltry all rolled into one. I like it. My kind of tune-age!

Thanks Mike,

Re: Cohen's tune, is a "move it forward" tempo, very subtle anthem...I could see it in a pastoral setting.. . You know, sort of like Were traveling on the road, on a mission and reflecting on what everybody else is missing.. .. thing. The Bass line for that one. definitely keeps the dust from settling on the tune...

In my song, I'm hearing a lot of voids, begging for alternating notes on the bass-line, more for the purpose of defining the song's dimensions and form, rather than augmentation of tempo. Of course, my twisted mind could be wrong. I'll never really know till I get a bass player (who knows what to do...) <sigh>...

See, this is normally the part where I would start to cry and whine, and blashemy my home town... But instead, I'll just shaddup and be patient (and plot my plan Bs)

Much Thanks Jahva!

You, know those guys really wrote the book on the crafting principles of song-writing. I'm glad to know that maybe I'm on the right track. It is an art all unto itself... which I have had to give myself permission to attempt.

way kewl!
