Hi guys--
.... solving the basic problem in music: How does one fill time?
[and]
... how to get from [point A to point B in the tune] ...different solutions to address the same musical issue.

Ah, the bassist's dilemma. So many choices/paths available.
Pedal, then jump. Chromatic up (or down). Via tritone. Follow the circle. Feel the Force....
Always hoping the musical slot machine will pay-off when you pull the handle.
Ecstatic when it does, mystified when it doesn't. Always striving to make *it* happen.
When it comes together, the players just know it. It's difficult to explain that feeling to 'civillians'.
