it says the bases need to play 'funky' :shock: :?
And just what's wrong with "funky" then? eh? eh?
Seriously, I think this stuff is great! Maybe not musically all the time, but if it wasn't for the likes of Mr Bernarts and De Haske etc, all of us mere mortal bands would be stuck. In fairness to them, they bring out topical music, (some good, some not so) they bring it out fast, and it's not overly complicated. If I have a complaint about Just Music (for example) it's that some of their published arrangements are needlessly complex.
When we look for this sort of material, we want it now, and we want it easy. It usually has a short lifetime anyway, so we can't afford to wait 6 months for the arrangement, and then another couple of weeks learning it. Young band music-choosers have no patience..
If it's cheese on the menu, make it Dutch please...
