    Thank you for sharing a view of the charts. It is surprising, if I may (I have done tons of copying), that they would provide double-sided chart for this Kirk Franklyn medley, considering a player will have to turn a page, by himself, in what is probably the most involved section for the bass. It is so EASY to avoid. And yes, four pages can be closed in a second after the last chord... Oh well... If a photocopy machine is close by... :). Thank you once again for showing the world what a professional musician is and does !

    • @chong2389
      @chong2389 10 месяцев назад +4

      Can you 'mark up' a chart on an iPad - on the fly? Pick up a pencil, you're done. You'd have to switch to edit mode, make the mark up, then save. Very inefficient. I doubt the musical director would like to wait for everyone to do so. iPads might be okay for 'complete' works, but not for a book like that one and not for a live show.

Do you have a Jackie Gleason type of photographic memory or is it more of a Marilu Henner - highly autobiographical memory - capacity for recalling songs and music ? You seem to remember very quickly what's put in front of you on music sheets . Either way it's such a joy to watch you at work and play . Mr Gleason : given a 75 page script to learn ...45 minutes later he tosses it onto a table and says ...' got it .' Every single syllable ingrained into his memory bank . Jeez !Ms Henner remembers EVERYTHING from her youngest childhood until the present ...jeezo ! Talk about being gifted .....

    Quite an amazing song list there! The one that really caught my eye was Steely Dan's "Peg." That just might be my favorite Steely Dan track ever, and Chuck Rainey played bass on it. So often on '70s songs, if you weren't on bass, Chuck was. Kind of surreal to see you played a little bit of Chuck's lines in this montage.😎

Thank you so much for sharing what your book looks like. Also per your previous post about the music being pre recorded for the part we saw last night, it looked to me some of it was played live?

    This is really interesting - are you expected to use a 5-string tuned down to play the B-flats below the stave or, do you play it in the 'normal' range? Seems weird that they wouldn't write it in the normal range for a bass guitar at this level of 'professional gig'.
