    Reminds me of a time i was booked to tour Europe with a legendary Blues artist. It was a pick up band and the bass player was maybe the fifth choice as everyone else was busy...He was a rock bassist not versed in the language of blues and jazz. So during the first gig when said blues artist required a walking bass, he just shouted "Walk!" at the bassist across the stage. Bass player looks confused..."I SAID WALK MOTHER****ER!"...So he starts striding purposefully backwards and forwards across the stage...
