Branford Marsalis On the Similarities Between Jazz & Golf | 18Birdies Podcast

[Music] christeta here with musical blessing three-time Grammy winner Branford Markov joining us here that just means you're old we heard that before thanks so much for joining us first of all congratulations on your Grammy nomination updating for it would be your fourth win if oh yes yes so very very well done rooting for you appreciate that I wanted to talk to you about this venue in particular we're here at Yoshi's jazz house here in Oakland but this isn't the original Yoshi's uh no it's not but you have some great stories about history of this place and a lot of you well I think from you tell me ah no I do okay that's a good one of my favorite stories here is they requested once we played we used to play are a lot like six nights then all the jazz people died in which replaced by people say we don't want six nights of that so now we play two nights but once we did a six nighter and they wanted a Sunday matinee show so the soap for kids so so that I got a man let's just do a kid show let's not do our show business so we started talking to the kids and it came out and peed on the instrument today what are you guys like what songs do your liking we played spider-man and we played a you know I can't even remember it's just all these cartoon and songs it's spongebob it was great we had good a lot of those songs that the structure of the song is actually old jazz music what spider-man is it's a - loose right really yeah - minor blues and uh with a little twist but it's a minor blues the Flintstones is an old music form called rhythm changes based on a song structure by George George Gershwin Cole I got rhythm and everybody knows I can add realism okay it's that song form it's a very populous that literally a thousand songs written on that song Wow so the Flintstones is one of those songs so we played The Flintstones soul hold on and had a great time many Flintstones tonight I'm sure would so you're telling me a little bit I asked you before we started this recording how's the food here interesting yeah so you were telling me about the old Yoshi's yeah the old Yoshi's the mean the food was incredible I said be original Yoshi guide the old man was killing anything I mean this was a this was a great book business and run a lot of levels they moved the Jack London Square when there was literally nothing here there was this it was the waterfront hotel which was more like a waterfront in it was so rundown and there was a seafood restaurant on the corner and then it was just nothing looks right how long ago was that how long ago is that 20 years yeah I go 97 so again so you did what was for me it's the Bourbon talk yeah make me smart and uh yes about 20 years ago and we would we stay in the waterfront and it sounds like a great things about five minutes from the venue nothing nothing else to do other than water no more stores around there it was a bookstore so you go buy books you couldn't even buy booze and then very gradually is it it's happening all over the states people start moving into these places that are considered and desirable and then there's that is a liquor store on the corner but it's not like Jo's liquor store it's like this big grocery stores like you know the drunks they like grocery store with wine and spirits and booze and then there are a couple of restaurants that popped up like the modern restaurants which are more like small businesses right not changed but these small business restaurants a couple of bars that have been here for a while started to attract a different clientele than the local clientele it's in a lot of ways I came back and I knew everything was but it's kind of unrecognizable right a lot of people out here means you can really be during the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. totally empty the Cal trains right Caltrans will roll through and they would be you might have just heard one yeah you hit the wind blowing there's just silence it's really nice in the dark kind of weird ways this is me and the hotel was empty yeah nice yeah so you've seen this place completely evolved not just Yoshi's but Jacqueline's square as a whole well I haven't really seen you cuz we don't play here very often I think we'd last time we played it was God I can't believe it it's like 10 years oh yeah it was a good surprise day I can't wait to hear you tonight it's gonna be good we might get a singer Chris Chris fantastic yeah card Ali people like singers more now like instrumental when you got the bends like well I'm not sure oh yeah right I think it's embrace like the first time I met him I was like you're like jazz and I'm like you know I can't like words to my music that's fine that makes time I think the challenge the challenge were playing instrumental music that to the casual listener the hardest thing to an instrumental music is that with them with the great classical singers do with the great classical orchestras do is that they literally create what we call colors in the sound the sound of their instrument changes to reflect the specific emotion have a specific time depending on what is written on the music and jazz is kind of straightforward community it's like the original version of rock and roll there's like two volumes in jail loud and louder because it was a speakeasy music people were drinking so the music was perpetually happy and as the music started to involve evolved and become more complicated and become more even you could say cynical in a way the musicians didn't evolve the way that classical composers evolved they didn't start using dynamics and they never really spend any time learning about changing the colours of the sound so the challenge in instrumental music instrumental jazz is to present the music in a way that it doesn't start to sound the same to a regular listener right and if you have three songs and in every song everybody solos and everybody's soloing on the same information it kind of sounds the same in in actuality it kind of is the same God people say man this stuff sucks and they're not wrong but we really concentrate on avoiding that there's some people where you're never going to get on the lichen just never they just they're tasting music it's not really about music like the lyrics sort of thing for them and we can't win them over foot the best compliment that I get at this when people come in and it happens a lot so I didn't expect to like this while you guys land you know yeah that's because the jazz fans are Jets means they're going to be there but when you can grab the casual people that's when you got something going on it yeah we have to learn how to do that opportunity to grow yeah absolutely so you've been doing more classical in the last four years great to see you too My Goddess did okay I know well speaking of maybe you guys can talk a little bit about how you know each other well first I have to answer a question I cut her off but I just looked at you it couldn't it wow it's pretty so anyway I've been doing more question we're going to do a more classic colors and do you like don't tell me about that do you like doing that yeah I guess but no it's hard is it yeah waking up in the morning is difficult this is the crazy yeah yet first of all you have to practice intense that I would you have to so compare it practicing music I mean as a golfer I know that if I don't practice I don't play well and it seems to me that that wouldn't be the same with music said it's two kinds of practice golfers practice to eliminate mistakes live in eight holes in their game unfortunately musicians tend to practice to reinforce a pre-existing understanding they're not practicing they're practicing kind of regurgitating what they already know they're not being so hyper critical about what they plan to well what's wrong with it and how do I get better by eliminating the his holes in my game most of that is because you can be successful in the music business by having a repeatable sound that people identify with so there's no impetus to change because if you change people might not like it so you say well we got a good thing going on here let's just kind of stay where we are and you know when it when it ends then we can worry about that by the time you've had like five ten years of success you're too lazy don't want to go back and start doing the grunt work again so what means you want to start playing classical well jazz does really it's never a spot when jazz becomes that popular and I have to struggle with that thing and for me it was just when you listen to a lot of jazz records are really great players by the time they're 50 you can start to hear the decline in their playing because when you become really good at something this like normal job normal job when you become good at it you don't hear in investment bankers hand I got to go home on a weekend in practice I gotta go read some economic books I mean they have to go they take classes you know computers change technology changes but the essential tenets of what it is so the people who do well at it are the people who can read data and see things in the data that other people don't see and that's not something you can learn in school but in music there are things you can do to constantly make yourself better but again it's treasured and if you like the whole scene of playing in clubs a playing concerts and hanging out afterwards and partying and you're 55 years old and you've been busting your hump for 30 years I mean the idea of getting to a venue four hours early to practice it's a death metal so what classical music did for me is uh it's like this thing is kind of like first time I played golf first time I played golf is with some guys in Minnesota a radio a first very first time first time a radio station was doing a golf tournament and we had this song that was making a little noise on the radio with this band I had bucks out the funk and I met these guys and they were talking to me to say yeah like competitive as it was with myself not really with other people like I'm not always trying to be better than other people but he goes yeah this games going to get you I said yeah right I said man this isn't this is a white dudes game I'm not he says this is what's going to happen to you you're going to take your first swing you're going to miss it and then you're done and I was looking at him saying first of all I know miss it I took a swing I missed it when when the round was over I went to bar tzedakah right and it was just did you get one good shot out of that round now they're a bit well done when you start off with me my first move is outside so I was doing trying to get and I'm satisfied that to this day but my first natural move was dating away you're gonna hit it right what year was that oh my god 1996 I think okay I think I played with him like the next week no no later it was later than it but you didn't yeah that we were just starting that's true it wasn't 96 it was 96 and the great thing was was that I was playing with like these really you know I like to call them and now I call them uninvolved guys I mean some people call them and that's fair but it just uninvolved guys in there front of generation where it was romantic to be you know uninvolved hey we're kind of there now anyway that's another story but uh these guys were like saying who we get to play with the ladies today cuz I just done I I joined this club in 95 95 and I signed up to be one of the Ranger what did those people that well marshals well I was I was walking around with Lee's but I was I was I have good ears because I've been working on Myer since I was 10 years old in the sound of the ball coming off the club like we kidding me and you know like Lara Davies was there and our shoulders were out to here and she hit the ball and it was like it came out of a gun and out my ears went good god I mean I bought was this scrambler Laura when she decided to hit the ball further than anyone earned or give or drive ninety percent she hit it forty yards by any other was unbelievable to hear yeah I just I didn't really know anything about golf and I was like oh my god because some of the players were awful but the good players were unbelievable and uh these guys are saying oh we get to play with and I didn't know Kristin I said he can you do me a favor that's it make this up Russian it was really sedated talking smack about you so Chris's hey how's it meet you good hi great to meet you guys hey you guys mind if I play your T's and like oh no no you know she could you guys go ahead and hit and they hit their little hundred and eighty yard shot Chris if that ball mmm enough silence from those I'm like man that was like that was far that's great she's like banks and we go in and not again pissed off so then of course with you do there's one thing that you can't do you start over swinging right because now I'm gonna tell my feel it past a girl right and golf is completely counter intuitive the harder you swing the less likely is any chance of you even hitting the ball these guys are swinging man it's got to take a swing and all you saw on the tee box with shoes and smoke I mean even swinging out of his shoes missing the ball and now they're furious and she's just as nice as can be I'm like this woman is awesome like I turned it cuz you know I mean I'd never do that I gosh what I mean but that's how she wasn't great job and is one of the killer and I mean this is like one of the greatest days ever to watch because it was so implementing of like there was a shift that was happening whether people weren't talking about that in 95 right but it was like yeah that is over so where was this well like I don't that I could go but we actually met the first that we were friends then the first time we met was playing in fairway to heaven that I guess yeah well that was like a first week I stuff yeah for something you right I was I'd broken sprinkler head with hard I know it goes and they have it on film I drew over spring cleaning the water storage everything what happened I said I think that was me I think I ran away we're using our director to cut to that clip if we could find that so we're on YouTube yeah Dan for Marcellus water spray thought it was hell at me everybody was laughing like it's not funny I'm the guy who did it it's not funny I'm not I'm that guy I'm getting pretty bad but it was fun I love the game I love playing so from then on you were hooked and so you kind of get to make your own schedule during the day so that you're performing nights or maybe working a lot of mass communicated it I don't get to make it anymore I got to practice but there was the time when I did yeah and I never really got any better because I was obsessing I mean I really was the first couple years I was like manic about the game and I played with an old gentleman who I did not know and he watched me complaining about my swing and all this other stuff he says son let me give you some advice and unlike most people I'm like sure I mean I assume that you know older people weren't necessarily smarter than me but there's certainly wiser them and I said sure and he says to me looks me right in the eye and he says great family man great business man great golfer you can be really good at two of these and as soon as he said it I'm never going to be good might as well relax and enjoy is like an immediate yeah like thank you for that I'm good now I'm good because I started doing this math like how many hours a day do golfers hit golf ball practice how many hours a day - I hate golf balls besides none I am it's not that happened well it's good that you could see that because a lot of times when people they're used to being good at things or especially something and then they try to play golf and they take that try to carry that over and ompletely different regulatory we do have to know why you're good at something I think that because you practice I have advantage I have is I'm more like my dad than my mom I'm like my mom there's a cutthroat she's a killer my dad was always like why was always the question with him but why so it's so why are you know he take like especially basketball players they suddenly our plan golf football there's a plan Compton and they're no good at it and they get mad and said well you've been playing football since you were eight yeah you've been watching football since you were eight you've been practicing hours a day going to the weight room doing all this how much golf do you watch how long have you been playing right it's like you know you look at in this is Malcolm Gladwell made this $10,000 thing famous in his book outliers you know everybody was good at something spins 10 which is what the hell does that mean to an average person 10,000 hours what is that compute to a long time yeah but what I mean nobody so does a guy named I forgot his name he wrote a book called bounce as a British guy and he wrote this book and he referenced Gladwell a lot and it was a fantastic book about athletics and like the to him talent is a myth that you have to be in a location where you can play enough for the ability to succeed we were saying intuition comes after immense amount of cognition cognitive study and if you aren't in a position to do that then intuition becomes impossible for you and one of the things he said was he said Gladwell talks about 10,000 hours he says it's not really clear to normal people what that means so he talked to athletes and trainers to hundreds of them in all sports all over the world Olympic athletes professional soccer players professional American football players and he says all of these athletes in the aggregate it averages out to a thousand hours a year Wow see that's what it is ten years you compete it you did ten years ten years and most people put in like a couple years and say oh this sucks anyway well and I think though even doing it in over ten years is probably not enough repetition I mean those 10,000 hours we need to be a little more yeah but that's to get in the ballpark yeah to get a toe in the ballpark ten years well also I think learning golf as a kid makes it so much easier people look at golf and they think I'll just practice how hard can it be even even with putting hell I look at putting and I go how hard can it be why do I find it so difficult and for whatever reason it just is I think Golf is about golf is mostly mental I mean did you look at like somebody who has like the swing that I fight against Furyk head that swings I'd have a problem yeah he just took that swing but his mental application is experior he gets it in just just a little bit better position right yeah but that comes to work it's like the thing is the thing with me is is that when I go outside I don't even know that it's outside it doesn't feel outside so if you can't feel that it's outside and you don't know where inside it there's no way that you can yeah and so then what I realize is just like playing music you have to play enough times and put in enough hours so that your brain can transmit the data and tell you your club is outside and I tried to tell that to my coaches who would say things all right needs to be more inside yeah you need to be an inch taller I mean it's just like just telling me that it's outside it's not helping me because my brain does not know we're outside and inside is so if you if if somebody takes your club and shows you where it is that's one time well first of all it's different for every person is that and I think that's the thing that makes music unique in golf unique but as all sports are the same way we try to come up with this universal thing like my coach used to show me Ernie Els swing which is ridiculous because Ernie ELLs is six foot six so he can generate club head speed with minimal minimal amounts of effort right it would probably have been more apropos to show me people were five ten five nine because it's amazing to watch how they strike the ball and generate enough speed to get distance with with our wingspan you know as but just the things it's I have to invent inside for me and I've been working on that last year you know and everything for me is starting with the elbow it's like feeling it turned in and then I can get it there but all the scientific explanations using the arc machine enough where we were just talking before the podcast about teachers and how you know to me a good teacher no looks at their student and knows that they can't do this or they can do this or they need to teach them a certain way this is that the thing with music for me it is for a lot of teachers it's 19 a lot of teachers it's you learn a one-size-fits-all kind of approach but for me are you talking for you when you're being taught or when you're teaching when I watch other teachers teach they had a methodology and everyone has to you know submit or ascribe to that like that particular philosophy well for me I'll give you an example there's a thing that if you took a jazz class they say they teach harmonic study is based on scales and patterns to approach chord structure so a very popular song structure in all forms of Western music is the dominant seventh chord so if you would say to a music teacher what can i play on the g7 chord he'd say a mixolydian scale works great but if the student would ask me what should I plan a g7 chord I said well it totally depends on what the band's plan which is you know it's like a conversation yeah that people study I mean I used to be on the debate team in high school you could I could always tell the most hardest people to beat are the ones who were well-read because there ain't but five subjects in the world when you're narrowing down so when you have a person who can attack that subject from multiple points of view from Shakespeare or from Schiller or from Goethe or from Antigone not that's the guy that's not that to play who wrote Antigone it does Josh I'd have to google that hi raspberry good you have but if they can approach it from all of these points because when you look at Greek tragedies they're just like opera it's the same stories you know you love this hate this betrayal there's anger does revenge there's lost it's the same crap all the time and the people who are more well versed have a better chance of winning the argument because they know so much so they can expound on it in different ways whereas people who have limited vocabulary they can only talk about it one way it's hard to win in the debate when during the course of 45 minutes to an hour you just keep saying the same things over and over again and this is the problem with the scaling approaches that it encourages musicians to know more than they hear and what I do with students is I try to force them to engage their ears which if you're an 18 year old kid must like playing golf and you haven't really listened for all that time it's going to take you at least two or three years just to get your ears in a position where they are receptive to sound so if we were going to put Chris on stage with you even have her play something you're going to teacher something how far can you get with her today haha tambourine covering what's the what's the range what's the range of musical that triangle is in the mix we don't have tambourine now I just think that I think salt shaker it comes I might take a right you're like box of matches right like well they know they don't have those anymore but you're showing your age I was just thinking they're almost you know a there's no match boxes anymore not to be a match box on every table in these places when I first started madness now everything there's no smoking so match boxes okay so sorry cuz I try to help you out there any well it's actually it's easy to play music in this part at the same time it's hard to get people to hear music to actually hear it to actually hear it that was a was a young lady I was going to the Hootie and the Blowfish tournament to code Monday after the bastard Monday after the math make 18 birdies is going to be there this year Wow okay we like to get our Asian jerseys in right now and it was like I was a non-sequitur agree so the woman I thought it was pretty smooth bags a most move it was until he thought and but you know why I had the pen why you change I'm mindful of sound you change this up mm so anyway where were we I remember where we were amber with hello she was driving and she was listening to this song and I said I like that song she was yet you what do you think I said I don't like it she goes why I say because it's incredibly repetitive the bass line and the drum beat in the keyboard part go over and over and over again and the thing I just keep singing the same melody because that's not true I said well that's the way I'm hearing it so have a nice day so I went away play golf for six and a half hours quite horribly came back and the person who picked me up with the same young lady and she was I just have to let you know that you ruined my favorite song how's that possible because now I noticed that it is completely and utterly repetitive and now I somebody told me to that tell me about like Beatles song we have like the same like three or four chords that just happened over and over and they're thought especially beautiful the melodies change right like those melodies are very different from one another and then people love the lyrics too kazoo lyrics are definitely you know what's the word I'm thinking of melancholic yeah they're very you know but a lot of modern songs oh my god it's just the same thing over and over again it was just funny that she noticed most people or whatever you're just old and then they just keep doing it right but she was really cognizant of it I was really surprised at you not that I'm actually paying attention it it is in that sucks you gave her the musical red pill exactly for a moment yeah sure she's back on so it seems like you've had a good amount of experience with like celebrity golf tournament you know over the years Wow yeah yeah you on that tour on this yeah the best experience worst experience someone you love playing with or just absolutely I'm playing with I'm a player Chris I'm not just saying that I did okay but uh yeah I play with Vijay Singh once that was drawn I and he tried to help me with my horrible swing but I just tried to basically get me to aim in a different way to live with this one that I had now that I'd say no it's a better hand it just makes it work yeah II can see discouraged but he was great he was plenty and most people think of him as just dour kind of sour guy yeah you know I had a great experience with him I don't know him at all but we were doing a fundraiser and somehow we lost the poster that he had signed from from the Masters and I was running around trying to find and I ended up like somehow getting in touch with them and saying can I send you another one have you sign it and overnight it back and he was fantastic no problem did it he knows a lot of jokes and he laughs at his leftist high pitched and the other guys you wouldn't expect that from a guy like six foot four and seeing the guy who laughs first at his own jokes after he tells it no not really not really but he did but he has a lot of fun out there and I said yeah you know everybody thinks that I'm not funny I mean I have a great time right here it is but when you playing golf it's work right putting smiles like at work who smiles at work I'm not working we do it I saw we tried to say okay well speaking of fun yeah ever I don't have some reason you're dialed into the emotional vibe but I like that yes that's good she's on the clock that's that what's going on it's going to be after fun so speaking of funny you work with Jalen off for a few years there is he golfer at all don't know not about what anything really he's into car car car guy what was that like what was that part of it musical director where you got the correct title yeah get on shelves yes what um so you why give that up it was it was the same thing every day really I like that song yeah moving everyone yeah I mean the thing that I liked about it is the behind the scenes things like every every morning I would have to get up in write arrangements for the band and right things and program I had to do a lot of digital programming the script the comedy writers were coming to say this gets on this we need music to sound like this and I'd have to run in and create programs because we had a small band and six people and if the band couldn't cover it then it would be the band augmented with sounds and that was great I mean I enjoyed that but I could actually feel the music slipping out of my fingers and I had to decide come on it's a great gig it's a great event it's you know you don't have to work that hard there are a million reasons to stay but I kind of understood that I was at this place where are you going to play music are you going to do this because if you keep doing this the music's just going to go it's not evaporate so I just I enjoyed this more that's interesting a lot a lot of people do that you see people in those gigs now and you're going to have to force them belief shut down what if they didn't have the same musical options that we did you know David I mean just not to be mean about it yet it's probably big they did they wouldn't be able to do this for as long as we've done it they wouldn't give it a go to your branding area they're lucky to have the gigs offered to them at that point and it's going to be if you have a great option you know and you're doing things like working on film scoring films and can you talk about that at all no no your application I'll get about it I decided was done one in 20 years did they showed up and said can you do this can you tell us about the film at all yeah oh it's a film called it's named after the book the book is called the immortal Henrietta Lacks it was a hit book two or three years ago it is about a woman from Baltimore who died of cervical cancer in 1951 and unlike most people her cells survived after death like most people once cells leave the body you get a half an hour in the cells died for whatever reason hers would not die so basically John Hawkins this is a miracle and they basically sent her cells to every medical facility in the world so the Jonas Salk polio vaccine was created with her cells the AIDS virus was created with her cells they sent her selves into space to see how cells react in a weightless environment Wow and the story was about this woman named Rebecca salute from Portland Oregon went to Baltimore to talk to her family about their mother most of them didn't know her she died when they were very young but she was kind of appalled at the fact that they the family was just completely dysfunctional and disrupted at the death of the mother the mother was the backbone of the family and how even though they were all these miracles going on with the cells like nobody took five minutes to try to use some of their resources and their patents to take care of the family it's a really unbelievable story it's true story all night there's a book called the immortal Henrietta Lacks Wow and as she was researching the book it ceased to be about the cells and it started to be about other things it was really it's an incredible woman interesting in the reading of books mm-hmm I'm just wondering if mine has moved up in the queue at all I have a really I have a book you yeah it's like Netflix right yeah I have a ridge thousand Tarantino's ten I haven't in the sad to admit I haven't read a book since 2010 I'm with the intro I'm probably with you no it's totally true and as a committee I mean I read it I made up for it I mean I've been reading books voraciously since I was seven or eight years old and then the music thing takes over and I have golf Bankoff takes a lot of time I don't really play that much anymore because of the music thing well and you've had some physical damage merger going on he had a knee replacement and a little back surgery yeah nothing that there's older thing is a little back it was a little no that was a little back surgery it was just decompression well they went in and they just clean gunk out of the nerve canal there was nothing else and you've had both shoulders I was built I lost count I thought it was only wanted it so it doesn't sound like you're slowing down anytime soon you're going to get to a point where you can get more golf in the schedule and a little less work I mean a classical thing is so daunting because oh I never even told you about part two I told you about part one I said the one thing is you try to improve and classical music is good for eliminating mistakes the other thing is when you agree to play concerts they make you play these pieces that you don't know and you have to learn them ah and that is the part I have the entire month of March which for the sake of the talk was Windows when it is where roughly is a month from now or less is classical music so I have to learn three or four I have to reacquaint myself with three pieces and learn a new piece and it's all done in the month of March so it kind of everything gets compressed of your time it consumes the time when you're not supposed to be playing right now anyway yeah I'm not supposed to particular April so but it's but but I'm not you know instead of sitting there going oh my god April can comes from and I'm just so over with this between the film and the touring with the band in the glass community that so much be in production now if you've got the entire films of course right it's it's almost locked it's in post-production right it's in post-production it's does its when does that come out April they tell me they have anybody we would now starring in the film Oprah Winfrey's in it now oh I may have heard of her and there's an Australian actor whom you definitely know but I don't know her name but she's she Nicole Kidman no I said you don't know her name oh but she has come in she she I've seen her play Americans and Brits and she has all these accents straight down pat and she's been on a lot of things I'm very intrigued now I'm giving a sail gonna I am BBS let me ask you one question about is playing music hard on your body it can be it depends on the instrument you play let's talk back for funk oh yeah it can be hard movie there we go movie that's what we're looking for IMDB I am DB he accident in any movies by the way yeah my name is Rose Byrne Rose Byrne I have heard of that name that's you I haven't been able to put the face to them but now I'm intrigued how long she was it she was excellent but with the saxophones you tend to get a lot of that's her I do know who she is she's been a lot of whole exact a will for there we go she said oh yeah I know did a lot of things alright and but anyway saxophone you have a lot of pressure on your vertebrae here and you can then these neck straps you wear whether that shows the harnesses or anything like shoulder harnesses which in your which I don't know it makes me feel it's it's a stiff and it's very unmatch oh and not physical at all it's because you can't move you everything is a mobile house they want ma'am I just do traps and exercises and everything cool you know I mean stable five-pound weights and you just do your traps exercises in your and all of that and then it did it's fun not bad but I know a lot of guys I mean you know we get old we still getting doughy and they still putting on the harness I'm like my harness is like an admission of death I mean where that I tried one for about five minutes I went no not notice I'll go to the gym I'm not doing this but yeah it does it is a physical component to all instruments I think bass is probably the one that's most physical because it involve so much of the body I guess you know like feel like they don't look like they're holding a pose you know and I mean this way they're coos - ah okay electric bass is definitely not as taxing is the acoustic behind cuz you you know the calluses on their hands or well the guys that don't you enhance the calluses are amazing Wow and the bat muscles and everything there's when you're stand-in play that's where you see a lot of modern bass players and they sit on stools but then I would think they sound like they sit on students when they play they don't play very percussive ly that down is very passive and it's a sound that I completely despise thank you not for other people are you really not for other people I'm happy for them in my group absolutely not make some time well we're
