The Bastard Instrument: A Cultural History of the Electric Bass

I have to contact the author Brian F Wright and maybe we can trade books

Offer him the experience of reading another #MusicHistory of an overlooked instrument 🪗

Bit of #accordion overlap in country music and conjunto

I wrote about the significance of the #bass (replacing the rhythm section of big bands, and the left-hand of the accordion), so there’s probably about as much overlap in both books

Five 🎸’s!

Found this fabulous history of the bass guitar 🎸 that is almost exactly the same format, size and style as my #AccordionRevolution book but for the #bass

It’s written for the lay person, has little sections so you can read it straight through or in little chunks, has black-and-white pictures to break up the text 📖

Feels like getting to read my own book for the first time, without having to write it

Very cool 😎

Random Bob Dylan Lyrics

 Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
 Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
 God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
 God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
 The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
