PART ONE: The past few days I've been offline...reading,..of course about music, and a fantastic bassman too, you've all heard of...VICTOR WOOTEN? and HERE . Well, Wooten has a very enlightening book out called 'The Music Lesson'. It's a fun read, get it if you can. It's one of Steve's favorite books, he likes to give it to his students and first heard of this book from his teacher JEFF MORGAN/THE BASS JEDI from Tacoma and now I know why he enjoys the book so....very entertaining and teaches some outrageous ideas about music and it's magical uses in our lives without being a 'heavy' read. AND, makes us all believe in the power of music and want to get out there and make the world a better place by using these ideas while onstage performing and inspiriting and effecting the folks listening to have a better life  
BARTLETT and I have both always been  kinda 'magical', unlimited kinda guys and as radical thinkers and have really 'considered' and pondered some of 'The Music Lesson's unique ideas.. intending to make use of them in Steve's musical performances and with all of our relationships as well.
BARTLETT ON BASS has always believed he can make life better with music. AND, it shows when he plays...he's in heaven that's all.
With all of this effect on the listeners...there comes responsablity as well. Because music leads the listeners down a path...the good musician knows this 

Victor Wooten Story Continued: Part two

With all of this effect on the listeners...there comes responsablity as well. Because music leads the listeners down a selected path...and the good musician knows this and uses it in their music...that's why we 'cry' with a sad song etc....it's called 'entrainment' of the mind, that's what I call it when I'm in 'atonement' or one with the entertainer or performer.
But beware, if a performer's message...if YOU don't want their message in your life...don't listen to their music....because it will effect your life...it just kinda oozes in and becomes an acceptible and reasonable choice down the road for you. Advertisements are full of this too. Be alert and monitor what messages are being 'installed' in your brain...no one else can do this for YOU. Jan

About My BASSMAN BARTLETT...What's Up?

Bartlett On Bass, Steve Bartlett cc

O.K.,  What's happening? Steve's making an appearance and jamming this week end, Sunday, Oct. 6th, 2013 that is. The jam's from 2:30 to 5 pm. @ TRADITIONS CAFE' AND FOLK ART, downtown Olympia. He's gonna meet his long time friend, MIKE KARNES/guitar there. Also, a B3/keys player named ANDREW JEAN GRAHAM. This will be great, lotsa fun. DON SUNN/vocals maybe there and DAVE FAIRLEY/drums has not said yet, but BARTLETT ON BASS hopes so.
Karnes invited Steve last week, wants my Steve to meet this B3/keys performer named Graham,.. O.K. ...thanks, Mike. BARTLETT also, had a message from Fairley, left him a return message and has not heard back yet. Don Sunn and my Steve went fishing a few weeks ago and got several delicious Salmon to smoke up. 'Boy, was that good.'...So, let's see what they can smoke up this Sunday  at the Traditions jam. O.K? Don's written several tunes. Cool. Jan reporting, over and out. SMILE.
