my favourite bass player is John Deacon...but this is about someone else...


Bass

He has a need of a fretless thing
He wants his fingers to move smoothly
Without impediments to play the strings
So he might impart his heart and interior self
To musicians who might listen.

To him
The bass is the basis of music
It flutters inside his head
As a heavy butterfly might...
Knowing his insight
Will make everyone follow...
He loves how he thuds them alive
And where they take him.

i love the lines,

And where they take him."

The bass is coincidental but composed as I try to be. Funny, they keep adding strings to it though. I like the old Fender basses with all the chrome :-)
