The bassist and the vicar
As happens so often, the Bassist and the Vicar were having a chat...
"Have you always played bass?" asked the reverend.
"Not to start with," said his companion. "When I was a kid, my parents made me take piano lessons. I learned a lot about music, of course, but I never really took to keyboard stuff. I was always more interested in what the left hand was doing, y'know? Then one day, in a music shop, I saw this bass. Beautiful thing, it was - a Thunderbird - and I picked it up. I tell you, reverend: right then and there, in that very moment, I knew I'd found the instrument I'd be playing for the rest of my life."
"Aah..." said the clergyman, nodding wisely, "...an epiphany!"
The bassman looked offended:
"Sod off! It was a proper Gibson."
