Book/T-shirt contest
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: COMPETITION WINNERS ANNOUNCED (17/05/07)
The winners are… Veronica from Miami and Ayako.
Veronica, you win a signed copy of Guy’s new book, ‘My Bass and Other Animals’, and one of his original ‘Didn’t They Do Well?’ T-shirts, as worn throughout the ‘On An Island’ tour.
Ayako, you also win a signed copy of Guy’s book.
Congratulations to you both.
Please let us know where we should send your prizes by leaving a message in the usual manner, including your full name and address. Needless to say, your details will not be published and are perfectly safe.
Following on from the competition we had back in October to win tickets to see Guy’s critically-acclaimed stand-up show, ‘My Bass and Other Animals’, we now have a pristine copy of his rib-tickling new book – also entitled ‘My Bass and Other Animals’ and available in all good (UK) shops later this month – to give away.
According to his publisher, the book "is a witty and revealing, but heartfelt, memoir of life at the sharp end of the music business," but we think it’s just another chance for Guy to make us all throw our heads back and gawp open-mouthed at wild stories from his days on the road with the likes of Pink Floyd, Roxy Music and so many others.
Not only will you be one of the first to get your hands on a copy of the book, but Pink Floyd’s Comedic Genius will write a personal message inside, just for you. And, as if that’s not enough, he’ll also throw in one of his very own ‘Didn’t They Do Well?’ T-shirts, voted by you to be one of the iconic images of David’s ‘On An Island’ tour.
It’s the real McCoy, as worn on stages across Europe and North America, straight from the man’s back (and, we hope, his washing machine).
To be in with a chance of winning both book and T-shirt, simply send in a simple five-line limerick starting with the line, "There once was a Guy who played bass…"
Limericks – such as this one, from Edward Lear’s 1861 ‘Book of Nonsense’ – have a distinctive beat pattern:
There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a Bee;
When they said, "Does it buzz?"
He replied, "Yes, it does!"
"It’s a regular brute of a Bee!"
It can be silly, sad, or serious, but nothing rude or risqué, please.
One entry allowed per person only.
You have until Wednesday 16 May to send in your best effort.
We’ll announce the winner next Thursday (17 May) and will request your full name and address then, so please don’t include any personal details with your competition entry.
Our thanks to Guy for his kindness and the very best of luck to all.
The chatroom will be open tomorrow between 1PM and 3PM (UK).
There once was a Guy who played bass
Who was considered a man of class
When asked to play with the band
he said “I will, but make this stand:”
“I’ll not venture outside Jazz”
Here’s a quickie from me just to help get the creative juices flowing (NB: this isn’t my entry, just something I knocked together to see if I could get the meter right, which I didn’t…hence not my entry!). Also the first line is slightly changed which I also assume would rule me out.
Going to have a LOT of fun with this…
Anyhow, here’s something to amuse whilst we’re all thinking up our limericks :
There once was a Guy who played basses
Who always put smiles on faces
Deadly with charm
He’ll do you no harm
But will always add groove in places.
Happy Wednesday

[simply send in a simple five-line limerick...]
‘simply’ ??? you have a great sense of humour !
I didn’t know what a ‘limerick’ was, I didn’t even understand ‘a distinctive beat pattern’, so I looked on wikipedia, and that’s what I read:
[A limerick is a five-line poem with a strict meter, popularized by Edward Lear. The rhyme scheme is usually "A-A-B-B-A". The first, second, and fifth lines are three metrical feet; the third and fourth are two metrical feet (One metrical foot is equal to 3 syllables; the line pattern goes 9-9-6-6-9). The foot used is usually the amphibrach, a stressed syllable between two unstressed ones.]
LOL ! I couldn’t have understood less if it had been written in Chinese !
Sorry, I can’t play that game, I give up ! Good luck to you all !
Lucia ! Fed is laughing at us !
Michèle
[All that 'rhyme scheme', 'amphibrach' and 'metrical feet' lark is complicated, but as long as you follow the example set out above (so that the first line rhymes with the second and the final lines - bass, face, place, grace, space, chase, etc. - whilst the third and fourth lines also rhyme with a word of your own choosing), you'll be fine. I'm sure you could do it, ma belle. - Features Editor]
Great competiton and will think of something deep and meaningful
In the meantime whats Glassman doing then? On hols??? He dont bend!
[Wireman will be doing different things from time-to-time. - Features Editor]
Ian Pearson
[Glassman is still playing his guitar (talk about a conscientious student!), but he's looking forward to reading Guy's new book - all 304 pages of it. He says that it's priced at a very reasonable £12.99 and promises to be a real treat for anyone with an interest in music, so we should all buy a copy. He feels that it would make an ideal gift, too. - Features Editor]
There once was a Guy who played bass
For some bands all over the place.
He plucked and he slapped
Yet he never tapped.
Would *you* get in Mike Manring’s face?
There once was a Guy who played bass.
His hands danced fast he was such an ace.
Then asked a handsome man who plays guitar and sings:
“Can you dance on stage while dancing with your strings?”
Guy replied: “You can be sure I can dance with my bass!”
There once was a Guy who played bass,
he liked to pluck the strings with his face,
he never used his hands,
despite the screaming of his fans,
except when they sprayed him with mace…
Happy Wednesday,
Hope this one is OK
“There once was a Guy who played bass…”
He had the touch of an amazing grace
His Dad also made life less dull
With songs such as such as Little White Bull
They really know how to put a smile on a face
Pete – Coventry
CAPTION: Careful with the axe, Guy.
Yeah, I know predictable or what, but I had a go anyway.
There once was a Guy who played bass,
who had a silly grin on his face,
when all he could see
was you and me
jiving all over the place.
Best regards
Julie
“There once was a Guy who played bass
With the biggest of grins on his face
Like the little white bull
All the tricks he did pull
With a bravery, style and grace”
There once was a Guy, who played bass,
who wrote a book for just in case,
the band would stop and say:
“With unlaced shoes, that’s no way to play.
You find yourself another place.”
Read in conjunction with the photo…
There once was a Guy who played bass
His technique was unusual but ace
He’d play upside down
With a grin and a frown
That crazy young Guy who played bass!
There once was a guy who played bass
But he wore his trainers without a shoe lace
So the day he tripped over his guitar pedal
When playing “Echoes” from the L.P. Meddle
He carried on playing like a true ace.

[Lucia ! Fed is laughing at us ! - Michèle]
Talk for you Michèle. I am sure I will write a wonderful limerick, because of my deep, poetic spirit.
No, you are right my french friend: I will be a donkey as and more than you! We could try to write it together: maybe a french head added to an italian head, make one “almost english” head!
L!
[Go on, have a go. - Features Editor]
There once was a Guy who played bass
Who wielded his axe like a mace
The groove was so heavy
We were floored with the bevy
Of riffs being thrown in our face.
Lots of fun.
Stephen
“There once was a Guy who played bass
With a precision and passionate pace
He out classed the many
Considered just “ten a penny”
And whom David could never replace”
There once was a Guy who played bass
Who wielded his axe like a mace
While tickling our ribs
‘Bout his trials and trib’s
Had a sly foxy grin on his face
There once was a Guy who played bass
He Wore a T shirt all over the Place
When asked is it pink?
He replied with a wink
I got it from Gilmour’s Emporium
There once was a Guy who played bass
That carries a crafty smile upon his face
He reminded us they did well
Of course they were swell
So cheers to all and my enhanced book case
There once was a Guy who played bass…
He always had a smile on his face….
They ask can he play? Hell Ya!!! Anyday…
And can make you laugh along the way…
This very special Guy who plays Bass….
Hope everyone is having a great week so far. Hope to talk to you all soon in chatroom.
Clarice
there once was a guy who played bass,
i always thought he was ace;
now he’s written a book,
i just must have a look,
and make room for it on my bookcase.
fed, great contest.
thanks guy!!! i will be buying a copy of this book if i win or not. i’m really looking forward to it.
the t-shirt is a great extra. a true collector’s item from an amazing tour. very kind of you to give it up, guy. all the best to you. x
Don’t laugh please because I’m italian and maybe for me it’s a little harder :-)
There once was a Guy who played bass,
who always ran on the grass,
playing it for hours days and years,
he really realized how hard it is
but he finally found those sweet melodies.
Guy, I know it’s not so good but it’s just a thought for you!
Piero
hmmm….In Italy we have something similar “il sonetto”.
“Voi che per l’occhi mi passaste il core
e destaste la mia mente che dormia
guardate a l’angosciosa vita mia
chè sospirando la distrugge Amore”.
Rhyme is A-B-B-A. this is just the beginning of a medieval sonnet by Cavalcanti.
The rhyme must be real. Not the sound but the words themselves must rhyme, unlike in English language (cause in Italy we read as we write).
I try this because it’s funny. And in the medieval style of love…..
There once was a Guy who played bass
he was really such a strange case
as he strummed with Pink Floyd really right
and he loved this girl Gala Wright
OH Lord, Love had such mysterious ways!!
Too funny… let’s go ! mais je pensais que ‘bass’ se prononçait comme ‘basse’ en Français, pas comme [beis], so, you have to accept my NEW RULE for the pronunciation, please !
There once was a Guy who played bass
Like that lunatic on the grass
But Guy was more funny
He had more irony
Roger, be sure, Guy has more class
Wow ! 8-8-6-6-8 ! correct ? Don’t laugh at me, please !
Michèle
Hi Fed,
There once was a Guy who played Bass
Four, five, and six strings, an ace
Now a book he has, too
That he’ll sign just for you
And send it right up to your place
Hi all! Here we go…
There once was a Guy who played bass
Him we could never replace
For it seems to me
And we all agree
He plays better than ol’ What’s-His-Face
Tim
I’m trying not to look at the other entries whilst I write this, it’s proving to be quite difficult.
Anyhoos, here’s something worthy of Rabbie Burns (or maybe Roy Chubby Brown):
There once was a Guy who played bass
Who was something of a nutcase
Whilst playing Comfortably Numb
He set fire to his bum
And took off like a rocket into space
Shame Dr. Seuss isn’t around to help me with the old rhymes.
Anyhoos, I really enjoyed the recipes for fruit salads and cocktails, they brightened up my revision.
Hope everyone’s well.

This is great! This game must have been Guy’s idea, because it is way better then blotto! (Just razzing you, FEd
There once was a Guy who played bass
I bought him a beer for his face
Don’t tell the boss
He’ll be jealous, of course
No worries, he still played like an ace
I’ll get that book either way, I really want that shirt!
Thanks for the opportunity, Guy.
~Erin
[You know you love Blotto. Don't try to hide it. - Features Editor]
There once was a Guy who played bass,
And never a note went to waste.
He played with such fury..
It made mothers worry!
You’d like him, if you’ve got good taste.
Oh my god, what has Fed started..
Bless you all, hope it’s worth it!!
Love from rainy Bournemouth
xx
Guy
There once was a Guy who played bass
Made others look lame on the case
Neither a chore with Brian Ferry
Nor wore a Fred Perry
And with Gilmour he really cut to the chase
Dave
Here goes,
There once was a Guy who played bass
Who really does kick ass
Guitar in hand
He makes his stand
“Didn’t they do well”
One for the Gipper
“There once was a fine chap named F*Ed
Who liked watching balls bounce off of heads
It would stir in his soul
When opponents yelled, “GOAL!”
Then he’d pout for a week in his bed!”
There once was a guy who played bass
Who couldn’t find any shoe lace
He ran on the stage
To earn a good wage
But only fell flat on his face.
Here’s a ditty form Aylesbury
“There was once a Guy who played bass
To a pretty young lady named Grace.
When he asked if she would tickle his strings,
She blushed and said that she prefered ‘blings’.
Oh what a smile that brought to his face!”
Boom boom. Don’t worry I won’t give up the day job.
Ahhh..Poetry :-)
There once was a Guy who played Bass
He played the best Bass in the Place
He would lay down a beat
And tap with his feet
That Guy Was an Ace with his Bass
Good luck with the Book Guy!
FEd, Great contest Mate!
This is fun! Thank you, Guy!!!
There once was a Guy who played bass
Who was known as a bit of a “case”.
He laughed and told jokes
While having his smokes
And plucked while dancing in place.
Hope to see you lot in the chatroom tomorrow.
Grinningly,
Becky
There once was a Guy who played bass,
Who rarely minded his place,
He drank like a fish,
called Polly a ‘dish’,
And was immediately sacked in disgrace!
Hi Guy
There once was a Guy from Nantucket…oops,start over…
There once was a Guy who played bass
His singing and playing were great
No scowling does he
Just fun comedy
No doubt his book lands in first place
There once was a Guy who played bass
Who’s team never finished in first place
So he spoke to Fed
Who said “use your head”
Now Guy’s going to Greece with his sun bed
Hey!
There once was a Guy who played bass
Who wore a Smile that covered his face,
With strings plucked by his finger
His legend will linger
As the man who took poor Roger’s place!
Thank you!
Here goes…
There once was a Guy who played bass
His shoes lacked any sort of shoelace
His hair was so wrong
His dance so headstrong
but we all love the Guy who played bass
And before Guy sends the boys around to smarten me up about the hair reference. I’m talking past PF tours… ‘onest!
There once was a Guy who played bass
On stage, left of Dave was his place
He always played long
Echoes, his favorite song
A while ago he said thats the case.
w00t!
Brian
these are great!!!
Hey Guy! great of you to stop by…. I get the impression you are reading regularly and just popping in now and then. Well it’s always awesome to have you post in here!
Sorry you are getting rained on… it’s like Summer here in sunny San Diego California (actually hot… in the 90′s (what is that? About 38 or 39°C?).
Well good luck with the book- hope its a big seller. Is it going to be released in the States? Fed only mentioned the UK.
Well have a great day. Hope you are enjoying the poems…. there are some really funny ones!
Tim
There once was a Guy who played bass
There once was a Guy who played bass
My keyboard is stuck!
I shouted “What Luck!”
There once was a Guy who played bass
There once was a Guy who played bass
Whose feet were all over the place
As he played “Run like Hell”
They said “didn’t he do well
But his dancing’s a bloody disgrace”
Michele
Rhyming funny and irony – c’est brillant !!
Hi,
I’m a lurker round here. (Saw DG in Amsterdam last year and have been speechless ever since!)
Anyway this looks fun and is my first post so please bear with me!
There once was a Guy who played bass
Rock stars had him down as an ace
Whilst busy with Michael Jackson,
Bryan Ferry and Robbie Robertson
Thought “I’d rather be playing on About Face!”
[Thanks for taking the plunge, Phil. Good luck. - Features Editor]
There once was a guy who played bass
He stomped around, as if in disgrace
But the loyal fans knew better
As they crowded together
Shouting, just look at the smile on his face!!!
There once was a Guy who played bass
who would dance around in his space
when asked to start jamming
he thought they said ramming
and he put Posh Spice in it’s place.
Nice of you to drop by, Guy. (Gee, now everything is rhyming.)
There once was a Guy who played bass
He was witty and pretty of face
He shamelessly hijacked The Blog
But done such a good job
That we loved him to bits – Quelle homme!
Can we do haiku’s next week?
[I did toy with the idea of making this a 'Guyku'. Definitely next time. - Features Editor]
Limericks? I don’t find it in italian, so in english….
Dear Michele and Lucia, we’re three of a kind!
ciao Guy and FEd!
emi
There once was a Guy who played bass,
who was afraid to take it out of its case,
He looked at the guitar,
and he thought `I`m a Star`
Guy you are incredibly Ace.
There once was a Guy who played bass
And other animals, all of them ace
Didn’t he do well
With all the stories he doth tell
And always with a smile on his face
Probably I could be better taming a kind of enraged bull than making rhymes. But for the love of the blog, I will look in the inner of my poetic spirit…
“There once was a Guy who played bass…”
driving you in a music maze
but for him play wasn’t enough
so he enjoyed making you laugh
I hope he has also time for some laze
My poetic spirit is too inner. I couldn’t reach it!
L!
Here is an attempt from a first time poster…
There once was a Guy who played bass,
Who always treated others with kindness and grace;
Unlike that bloke named Roger,
Who through his actions became quite a bother.
And now David can make music with a smile on his face!
[Another one! Welcome, Randall. Thanks for giving it a whirl. Good luck to you. - Features Editor]
There once was a Guy who played bass
Ne’er once would it be in it’s case
He loved it so much
He played it as such
The rest we know as he is all aglow
Original version from line 4 but was wary of the risque rule
He kissed it as such
Now there is a Guy with…2 basses
There once was a Guy who played bass…
Who always plays with such grace…
But you should see him drunk…
He’s was so full of spunk…
When Gooners Beat Reds…
2-1…
Tally ho!!! ;^))
There once was a Guy who played bass
Whose deep low end filed up the place
With tasty slick fills
Guys playing sure kills
His talent has not gone to waste
[I did toy with the idea of making this a 'Guyku'. Definitely next time. - Features Editor]
A Guyku!!! FEd, that has to be the greatest creation I have ever heard of.
You are such a smart FEd :-)
There once was a Guy who played bass
Friendly fellow, by the look on his face;
Didnt he do well,
I think we can tell;
After all, he is a genuine ace
If only we could ALL win a moment of his grace…
There once was a Guy who played bass
who did so with finesse and grace
His fingers, how they move!
He really does prove
that Roger was a disgrace.
Is that considered rude? My apologies. But I bet Guy can play the fretless bass!!!
If that is rude, I’ll change the last three lines to:
The notes he produces,
the ROCK he produces,
surely no one could replace.
But I still submit the first draft as the official!
There was once a Guy who played bass.
He toured with David all over the place.
They told him he was funny.
Now he’s going to make money.
I am buying the book just in case.
Great idea Fed and Guy. Thanks
There once was a guy named Fed.
David says to go right on ahead.
He got into a fix.
Then sharpened his pointy sticks.
The blogs in shape, off to bed.
Sorry, couldn’t resist. Now see what you’ve done? LOL.
These entries are great!
Here’s what I came up with:
There once was a Guy who played bass,
With always a smirk on his face;
Even though he seemed hazy,
And perhaps a bit crazy,
His wit never ceased to amaze!
Happy Thursday,
This is going to be a real hard one to judge. There are so many good ones.
And hats off to the people where english is not their first language.
I certainly could not do what you have if this competition were in Italian or French.
Pete – Coventry
there once was a guy who played bass
and I for one think he ace
and since 87
he has had me in heaven
but your trainners do need a lace…….
Rgds Geoff Duffy ( Dublin )
There once was a guy who played bass,
when he played happiness shone upon his face;
proving that even when joking around,
he could most definitely keep the pace.
These are legend, keep ‘em coming.
Dom
x x x
There once was a Guy who played bass
With great bands all over the place
His colourful past
He has published at last
It will give you a smile on your face
this looks like fun, gotta have a go…..
There once was a guy who played bass,
For our Lord Mr Gilmour, his grace,
He forgot his roots,
Got too big for his boots,
And now Guy Pratts’ taken his place.
oooh, thats gotta hurt!
There once was a Guy who played bass,
For drinking, he couldn’t handle the pace,
Him and Simon hit Swansea,
However Guy drank like a sissy,
And ended up falling flat on his face!
Donc, c’est parce que, en fait, ‘bass’ ne rime ni avec ‘grass’ ni avec ‘class’, et puis, c’est tellement plus marrant que les Maths… Si ça ne compte pas, pas de problème.
There once was a Guy who played bass,
With a lovely smile on his face,
Then he jumped to the blog,
What a nice epilogue,
Welcome to David’s cyberspace !

keep them coming!!!
*not contest entry*
There once was a guy who played bass
Who dribbled all over the place
He dribbled so bad
It was really quite sad
To see dribbles all over his face
(FEd said I could, so there 8p)
[Only one entry will be considered from each person. If it's not made clear which is your contest entry, then your first one will be taken as The One. - Features Editor]
I wasn’t going to send this but I’ve spotted a few FEd limericks so…
There once was a blog Features Ed
Who couldn’t bear Radiohead
His friend called Lucia
Said “You really must hear…”
But he said “I’d rather be dead!”
[Lynn, you know I really shouldn't comment, but I think the above is pretty fair. - Features Editor]
It has been a while since I’ve been here but glad to see the crowd is still active! My humble submission:
There once was a Guy who played Bass,
On tour forgot his suitcase,
He had but one shirt,
It smells of Roquefort,
So he blogged it away post-haste!
You should have Guy (if so willing) sign the shirt as well!
…Cheers to all
Yes, it’s me “fruit salad man.” I thought it quite funny that FEd posts the idea with the line that the “men in white coats” come take me away for the suggestion and if you hadn’t noticed I didn’t get to post in the silliness of the topic. My absence was due to being taken away with a bunch of men in white shirts to a corporate meeting for several days. But it was amusing to read through all the possible fruity combinations.
From my perspective, thanks for allowing us to entertain some silliness now and then. And even though, I know some were put off by the idea, it’s not going to stop me from suggesting other things in the future. I enjoy pushing the boundaries of creative thinking. If it’s not appropriate, FEd knows where to draw the line.
Limerick to come later.
Thanks.
Andrew
[If it's not made clear which is your contest entry, then your first one will be taken as The One]
Couldn’t resist this – IT IS NOT THE ONE
There was a young man called Fed
His job kept him from going to bed
He would chastise us fools
And he supported Liverpool
I bet he wished he was going to Athens instead
Pete – Coventry
[Athens... - Features Editor]
Wow, what a fun competition! I’m definitely going to work on one and get into this competition for a change. I skipped reading the ones already posted, because I don’t want to be influenced by the other talent here.
Good luck to all who enter!
Love,
Elizabeth
*Official Limerick Entry*
There once was a guy who played bass
Who replaced his bass with a plaice
Said David that’s pish
Playing bass with a fish
Said Guy, I don’t care, shut your face.
ah! ah! Thank you, Lynn! It made me laugh! I will make them inscribe it on my grave, in ‘Spoon River Anthology’ style. Will you do the same, Fed? It would be nice…
L!
[There are things I don't wish to imagine and my gravestone is one of them. - Features Editor]
There once was a Guy who played bass
Who’s skills we would embrace
His horizons became broader
As he married Rick Wright’s daughter
Who probably puts him in his place
There once was a Guy who played Bass
Who didn’t want to put his bass in it’s case
When playing Marooned,
a heckler gooned…
Play something from About Face!
Hey FEd!
These are great limericks…So Funny and Original.
I made a picture on my computer, and I thought I would share it with you…It goes with the OAI theme, if you dont mind sharing it with everyone.
[Nice. Please click Ax's name below to see it. - Features Editor]
Wowzers F’ed, you’ve really started something here. I’ve come up with another 6 versions and can’t decide which one stands the best chance!
Anyways, while I mull that over, heres one for you…..
There once was a guy known as F’ed
Who wasn’t at all off his head
While walking the dog
He thought of this blog
and got everyone out of bed.
;-)
David, breathe the air of Brazil.
There once was a Guy who played bass
Who danced with a smile on his face
There’s a twinkle in is eye
He’s a really great Guy
His sound on Echoes is quite ace
There once was a Guy who played bass
Whose feet couldn’t stay in one place
He tried to keep still
As in a voice oh so shrill
David said, “It’s a gig not a race”.
It’s terrible, I know, but it’s the taking part, right?
There are some really brilliant ones, really funny. Good luck to everyone.
ok, i’ve made my decision, please consider this as my entry F’ed.
There once was a guy who played bass
Who wanted to go into space
His missus called Nasa
And after a chatter
They sent Tony Blair in his place.
‘There once was a Guy who played bass
Who went on to tour and replace
A bassist named Roger
Who’s a bit of a ‘codger’
Now Pratt is the Ace of the bass.
F’Ed…what fun. Lots of great posts.
good luck all,
jan
[Before anyone gets defensive and complains, many of us are codgers here. - Features Editor]
Nice competition FEd,
Here goes :
There once was a Guy who played bass
Played his strings with a smile and such grace
Of the band he’s most jolly
Toured with David and Polly
And brought Glassman to his rightful place
Best regards,
Ralph
ok this is going to be a load of codswallop but the prizes are worth me making an eejit of myself over :-)
“There once was a Guy who played bass…”
and jumped all around the place .
on the blog he would post
the bass player with the most
then with fruit salad he’d stuff his face .
thats my real entry . now for another one . the lady is on a roll you see !
cheers
Linda
There once was a Guy who played bass
His name was Pratt, Have smile on his face
He jumped up & down on stage in p.u.l.s.e
To show us “He’s not better than Roger” is false
David turned to him, saw his shiny-smily face
Welcome to the new guys! We don’t bite, honest. Loved that limerick, Randall. Lucia and Michele, yours were great too! Bravo, for stepping out and giving it a try!
There are a lot of really good ones. They have been fun to read and to write. Hey FEd, on our slow days around here, maybe we could do one for other members of the band.
Congrats on finishing finals and on graduating, Penny! I know first hand how much of a feat that is, especally with the family to take care of. My finals are next week. Back to the books . . .

[Good luck to all those who are facing exams next week. - Features Editor]
There once was a guy who played Bass
Who strummed at an incredible pace
He played it so fast
Tones shot up his arse
And out through the smile on his face !

Tee eye em bee oh !
Haha Thanks Julie…
There once was Guy who played bass
Multiple artists’ stages he does grace
