Come Alive, from the Greatest Showman
Put aside any prejudice about music like this from shows, once this song gets going, the bass playing is freakin’ fantastic!

Happy Friday all!

It’s refreshing to hear the dry drums of the '60s in a modern context.

I seem to be hearing it all the time in those “hip” trio/small group recordings (e.g., Khruangbin, Yussef Dayes etc.)

I am as much a luthier as I am an expert in international economy (please don’t take the bait 
), but I think I could whip one of these together in an afternoon (and perhaps access to the local school’s workshop):

I think you need to repost this to ‘bass porn’, if you haven’t already…

Bronze Medal Hopefuls was a Covid Casualty!
Our EP was ready for release, we had the show booked, summer gigs/festivals/etc.
Our release show was booked for late March 2020.
So, once everything shut down, our keyboard player disappeared and stopped responding to human contact for about a year. I jonesed for live music for 6 months before it detoxed out of my system and I started relaxing and enjoying life with my family and dinners together.
Since then I haven’t been out gigging at all.
Well, except that Toast Machine reunion. heh.
I’ll be in the studio to finish bass tracks on Toast Machine next week, but Bronze Medal Hopefuls are out to pasture.
Forever?
Who can say.
Here’s the video I made during lockdown featuring Rocco Blastorius, best bassist in the puppet lands, guesting for the funky bass solo.

Oops, I just realized that this was supposed to go into the “Humor” thread… eventually it ended up in the “Porn” thread… guess my sarcasms wasn’t thick enough 
(But, glad you liked it @sunDOG )

Really digging the new Papa V and the new look for the ghouls. Loving the new songs. This one reminds me of an '80s hair band power ballad.
