Bass Lessons For Politicians

In the spirit of bi-partisanship I present "Bass Lessons For Politicians". Though clearly aiming to help Mitt Romney win the Crazy People Party nomination, I encourage all candidates everywhere to grab a bass and have a lash!

OKokok...

When I read the title, I thought you meant bass as in fishing. After all, Mitt put on a show hunting, right? And don't real bubbas go bass fishing?

Could this be an important untapped market? On the Dem side - Can a woman out-fish men? Can black guys fish? Do you have to have nice hair to fish?

On the Repub side - What Lure Would Jesus Use? Are there secret lures for some bass? Can one cross-dress while fishing?

Leave us bass players alone. And, p.s. if you really really want to be very very hip - play the upright bass.

Anyone noticed that 6 out of 8 letters in dude's name are musical notes( if you count H as a German B-natural) Wow dudes!
Hey,also you can get "Bach" out of his name....far out.

How do you get a guitar player to turn down his volume?
Give him somethin' to sightread.

So, do you think that "Runnin' With the Devil" and "Highway to Hell" are on Huckabee's set list?

If Romney were the least bit clever he would have published a video of himself singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir which is one of the best choirs in the world. But no, that didn't occur to him.

Bill Clinton played the Saxophone on late night TV and we all loved it. Many Americans have music as a hobby or a job and are thrilled to see a politician who can relate on their own level.

Huckleberry has discovered the secret of mass appeal to the common man while Romney clings to the Ivory tower.

I just got through watching Huckabee play bass. I'd kick him out of my garage band.

Im sorry but if I was voting for bass skills Jaco Pastorius, Bootsy Collins or maybe John Entwistle or even Billy Shehann would get my vote.

I'm a long haired, pot smoking bass player, roughly the same age as Huck. Does being a bass player trump the hippie/doper and make me qualified for politics? I have a couple of ties that I wear for weddings and funerals and I am very informed on the issues. I have a firm, manly handshake, and a great smile. But first and foremost, I am a BASS PLAYER. I'm even a better bass player than Huck. Hey, Obama, need a running mate?

As usual, Mr. Hipp cuts to the heart of the issue and comes up with a simple solution to a complex problem. What I'd really like to see next is Huckabee, Rom(e)ny and one of the others ALL playing basses on Spinal Tap's "Big Bottom." I'm looking at you, Guliani.
