I just read TC's latest post. It sounds like he is bored out of his tree.

He's evidently watching old films in French. Ah well, that's what happens way up north. He's probably sleeping now but I thought a post from the bass bag might cheer him up.
It's good having Rick Tim Bagno around because you can't rely on comments from people like Robert, and I'm sure that Peter will sleep until about 9am.
Henry, my grandson, is two weeks old today. He is still not really up to watching films in French. I might be looking after the boys on Wednesday afternoon. It all depends on me passing a fitness test with the parents - I've had a bit of a cold and that's not good if you're around a newborn child. I'm off to work today and Wednesday morning, so no time for French films. I've got my big little gig on Saturday morning, where I certainly won't be playing any Led Zeppelin or singing in French.

Hey, I'm glad that I'm a Jazz musician. I'll always remember the first time I really listened to Jazz and listened carefully to a walking bass line. Special! I guess I was a Classical musician before that. I also remember hearing a very young Rodger Fox and his band playing at Victoria University - they were obviously having fun! Classical musicians can spend their playing lives playing other people's music. In Jazz, improvisation gives you a lot of room to express yourself, even if you're playing someone else's tune. That's what I love to do. Jazz musicians also love to 'play out'. This is not about playing outside, it's about seeing how far you can push the harmonies and then bring them back. Now, that's more fun than sightreading a cello concerto or playing Bach's double violin concerto for the 400th. time. Hey, don't get me wrong, those Classical pieces are great music, but you are spending all your time playing other people's note choices. Robert will probably write a comment now because he'll disagree with that.
Well, there you go.
Have fun boys but don't get too hung up on French language films.
Ciao tutti.

I'm up early too because there are a few toilets needing me out there. I've been practising my guitar chords and have downloaded a tuning app. Thanks Richard. I'm not a Led Zeppelin fan, so I'll give Immigrants Song a miss. I do like Jazz though. I'll run over some chords before going to work. I'll also check out those pentatonic scales that Richard wrote out for me.

Led Zeppelin’s song ‘Ramble On’ comes to mind.
We went to see The Penguin Lessons yesterday. I thought of you because the star of the movie, Steve Coogan, did that song 'Everybody's a bit of a cunt sometime.'
Dear sir, I wish to protest in the strongest possible .....actually Marcie Brown says things like you. She wants us to improvise and even asked me if I was going to write a cadenza to the cello concerto I said I practised.!
She was saying how she loved it when things went wrong on stage when she was in the orchestra pit and her and the pianist would have to make up stuff.
I think if you are going to write as Rickety Nobag, you need to do a post with a link like wot TC done. Phones don't always show the side bar.
I like the "Rickety Nobag".

'Rob be a theist.' Could work as a blog.
Or 'Robbie Satan Hell.'
Or a blog about a good sheep that lives in the water - Sea Ewe in Heaven.
Or a guy who thinks he helps people - Go To Al!
Whoops!
Sorry to intrude. It looks like you guys are having fun so I'll bow out and find another blog to comment on.
Sin but have fun while doing so.
You might be better off on a Nui site.
