Stumpy1 Chris Squire Rules! Registered: 08/11/02 Posts: 1864 Loc: Southern Lake Superior	About a year ago, I was invited to participate in the praise band at church. The idea was to spell the regular bass player when he needed a day off. So I've been re-learning how to read music, but with a limited amount of time to devote to it, it's been slow going. Age might also have something to do with it. We were at practice the other day, and I was talking to the regular bassist whose playing I admire. I mentioned that I'm making some progress with my reading. In reply, he said, "I don't read music well, either. Those little black dots mean nothing to me!" _________________________ Stumpy "The best of men are men at best."
