While waiting for tardy files to arrive I perused the internet and found the web site of Bryan Beller, a guy who wrote a column for Bass Player magazine a few years ago. One of his articles ties astrological signs to your style. Of course I don't believe in astrology (or this guy's take on it) but when you look at Tim's description (born February 3 to immigrant cheese herders) it's astoundingly appropriate!


AQUARIUS
(January 20-February 1Cool :
They say, "What the Aquarian thinks now, the world will think in 50 years." Your playing approach is so unconventional, it may seem to contemporaries that you're straining to be different. This makes you seem aloof and detached in small-group settings, which is unfair because others don't understand just what a genius you are. The good news is that you're right and they're wrong. The bad news is they won't realize it until you're long gone, which in the meantime means you won't get hired for anything. Famous Aquarius bassist: James Jamerson.


The entire article is at: http://www.bryanbeller.com/literature/bassplayer16.html

Sorry 'bout that turn of luck, Tim...

TAURUS
(April 20-May 20):
Slow and steady wins the race for the Taurean bassist, whose dogged, persistent nature is second to none. You're practical, reliable, and punctual. You always know the tunes cold and are predisposed to patterns and repetition, traits bandleaders love. Given to materialism, you also probably have six basses with silly decorative inlays and red fret-marker LEDs. If there's only one chair in the rehearsal room, chances are you're sitting in it-and won't give it up for anything. Woe be the bandmember who impedes your path to the backstage deli tray. Famous Taurus bassist: Krist Novoselic.



i dunno. while i do have six basses.....i don't have any with silly decorative inlays or led fret markers. Big Grin

SCORPIO
(October 23-November 21):
No one-not slimy managers, late-paying bandleaders, rival bassists-will ever get the best of you. The deep intensity you musically project has a subtle, sneaky way of dominating everything around it. Somehow or another, you get whatever you want: a better mix on the record, the best hotel room on the road, the post-show companion of your choice. Even if that companion happens to be the significant other of someone else in the band. Not that you'd ever let anyone find out. Famous Scorpio bassist: Bootsy Collins.

It is true that the "deep intensity [I] musically project ... dominat[es] everything around it," but that ususally resulted in my not being invited to play anymore. "Stop all the fancy stuff--just sit on one note!"

Most of the time the "fancy stuff" is just noise. Red Face
