I love collecting music & when I got to George Harrison, I got hooked on that song. Cockamamie Business is my favorite of his solo songs & Something is my favorite of his Beatles songs. It was released in 1989 on the Best of Dark Horse album along with Poor Little Girl. Both songs include Jeff Lynne on bass. The bass line is very easy to play in my opinion. The only part I can’t get quite right is the last few notes. Everything else I got.

Thanks for the advice from both you & Lisa. I think I started playing the way I did because of the size of the fret board. I went from a normal sized Austin electric guitar to the Fender Squier bass which was quite a size difference. I was wondering why my camera was doing that. I didn’t realize what was causing it, but now that I think about it, it usually does that with louder songs especially louder bass lines. Also I wanted to ask something else. I learned a song on bass & I want to record a video to show my friends online my progress, but it’s just the bass so I feel like it’s missing something without the rest of the song. The song is Cockamamie Business by George Harrison. The bass line was played by Jeff Lynne & I love playing it. Whenever I’m bored I grab my bass & the first thing that comes to mind is that song. Do you have any advice on how to record a video with the song still sounding complete? I know the lyrics but I don’t know if I can sing them & play bass at the same time.

Well I have all their albums on CD & I’ve been blasting their music to & from work for the past 2 weeks. I put all my favorite songs together & it came to 3.5 hours. I like to make cassette tapes of my favorite artists & 1 90 minute tape wasn’t enough. I found a 120 minute tape. So I put everything I liked from 2007-to the 1st cover album on the 90 min tape & everything else on the 120.

I have no problem with that. I don’t even have a MLT shirt so no worries there. Most of my shirts are band shirts though. Like right now I’m wearing Journey.

Hi Mike!
Do you know where 146 is? It’s right off of 146 exit 4. Douglas is right on the Rhode Island/Connecticut/Massachusetts border. I’m about 10 minutes away from both Rhode Island & Connecticut. Webster, Uxbridge & Whitinsville surround Douglas.
I do play a little bass. I’m also trying to learn guitar & I used to play trumpet in middle school.

I want to go with my brother to see The Temptations & The Four Tops on Friday. It would be great to see them & my brother is really into that older style of music. With Grand Funk Railroad 2 of the original trio is still there. The Drummer/vocalist & the bass player have been there since the beginning. The original guitarist/vocalist left & now the guy who took his place was the lead vocalist for 38 Special back in the 80s on 2 albums. They also got another guitarist who plays the lead who was the lead guitarist in Kiss back in the late 80s & they have a keyboardist. That concert with Foghat is next Saturday. I might go to that with one of my friends. I know a lot about music especially when it’s a band I really like.

I love that song. The Loco-Motion written by Gerry Goffin & Carole King. Originally performed by Little Eva in 1962 & then became a big hit when Grand Funk Railroad recorded it in 1974.

I’ve always loved Drive My Car. It has always been one of my favorite Beatles songs. Next month I’m going to Twin River Casino twice for the concerts. The first one is going to be The Temptations & The Four Tops. The second one is going to be Grand Funk Railroad & Foghat. I’ve already seen Grand Funk Railroad twice but they are a fantastic band & they put on a great show.

I love the sound of the bass. I also love this older music. Some of it can be pretty hard to play for newer musicians & even some more experienced musicians.

I started out trying to learn guitar but I wasn’t quite getting it. I’m still slowly getting better. My younger brother learned from my older neighbor & he actually got so good he started to teach my neighbor things. He borrowed my neighbor’s bass & I tried it. I really liked it so I went & bought myself a nice red Fender bass. I find it to be much easier than guitar for now. I’m getting there. My brother also bought himself a nice bass. He got himself a Hofner violin bass. I love this kind of music. When I found Mona & Lisa online I was surprised to find two people around my age so into the older music. I did notice online there seems to be a lot of younger people who are really into this older music especially over in your area of the world.
