Another joke: A man vacationing on an island is driven crazy by the constant sound of drums, but whenever he tries to ask the natives when it will stop, they look horrified and tell him, “Very bad when drumming stops.” Finally, he plucks up the courage to ask what happens when the drumming stops, and the response is, “Bass solo.”

When it's Marcus Miller taking the bass solo with a nice nasty funk bass, I'm INTO IT!!! I even like drum solos, God help me, and I love a good accordion. For the last few years I've been hooked on Mexican Ranchera music because there's so much really great accordion playing (plus it helps me improved my Spanish a bit). Never could get into listening to the same music at the age of 57 that I listened to 40 years ago, though I dress pretty much the same ... sad!!!!
