The Bass Player!!
Normally a very competent musician, perfectly playing a single line of music, never getting to play a solo, and still, he has to rock up for a good couple of hours of rehearsals, while the rest of the musical group fumbles over keys, works out intros and outros, and perfects their lines of music.
Still, an essential part of the music team, bringing the bass line out, and usually the best looking, we can't do without them. How can we, then, as musos, learn to appreciate the time and quality of our bass players, without dragging them through the muck of music rehearsals...?
"Hey, just rock up for the last 5 minutes of practice and we'll go from there!"
