The Birth of Richard's Bass Bag 4.

 They all sat around a table - The Curmudgeon this and The Curmudgeon that, along with other attached bloggers like The Wine Guy and long-forgotten bloggers like The Blue Man and Peter's Bagpipes. The Curmudgeon (Peter) sat at the head of the table.

The Blue Man

They were joined together by the organization known as The Curmudgeon Ink.

"We've got to accept it, especially after that last embarrassing interview post. What were you thinking?" said The Wine Guy, "He's thrown us a lifeline. At least we'll still be able to blog and maybe we'll attract a few more readers."

"Any number is better than two." said The Blue Man sarcastically.  

Peter looked threatened. After all, for good or for bad, he had grown this Ink. It was his baby. He had battled with Robert the quite a few different things and learnt so much from what he had read on Richard's Bass Bag*. Now he was being thrown a chance to be part of that success. His team would unite to carry the new banner of Richard's Bass Bag 4!

"Can someone pour me a Cleanskin?' he asked. "If we do decide to become a subsidiary of the great bagging system, will we lose our identity a Curmudgeons?"

He heard, "No, no, no, no, no, no!"

Even quite obscure Curmudgeons, like The Nostalgic Curmudgeon and The Aluminum Foil Curmudgeon, seemed lightened up by this chance to be read by a lot more people.

The Food Curmudgeon
seemed pleased too.

Peter was under a lot of pressure. Would he be up for this new beginning? It could be the saving light for his team.

Some of his Ink (quite a lot really) seemed to be praying to the bass bag. 

The times were a changin'.
