The bass player is usually the least respected member of the band


But Laura Love puts paid to that idea and has a wonderful song to take us into the first weekend of the summer.


Comments:
Funny, I would have said that the drummer was the least respected member of the band, given all the drummer jokes out there. Nobody makes jokes about bass players. They're the anonymous member of the band that nobody ever remembers their names. Sample: "Q: How can you tell when the drum riser is level? A: Drool comes out of both sides of the drummer's mouth." But bass players? Nobody even bothers making jokes about bass players. That's not lack of respect, that's just anonymity.
