    Many years ago, I worked with a guy that didn't appear to have any coordination, or talent for that matter. One day he brought his guitar to work for a talent spot, and played that song flawlessly. It really blew me away because that's not an easy three cord song. Every time I hear it, I think of him and how no one ever guessed he possessed such talent.

    I can play it flawlessly, but only in my head. My musical talent reaches to negative numbers. ;)

    I'm with you there, Doug. I've tried a number of times and it just ain't there. Pisses me off, too, because I come from a musical family. I guess I didn't inherit the gene.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Another addition:

    Take a Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground. That's a first note identifiable song if there ever was one.

    With all the bass players around here, I thought I would throw in one of my favorite bass riffs. It's the beginning of You're The One That I Want, from the movie Grease. When that comes on the radio, the volume goes to max. Of course, I always had a thing for Olivia, anyway

    You've just got the hots for Olivia, right?

    Why yes, as a matter of fact I did/do. I always thought she was a hottie, and she can sing, too.
