Fair enough. While you’re at it, let’s eliminate the infield fly rule. I think the potential chaos could be highly entertaining.

I like it, but have a question - If there are runners on 2B and 3B, won’t 3B have to advance? 🤷‍♂️

Hank Mobley

Jazz OTD: Hank Mobley led one of his classic Blue Note sessions, leading to his album "Hi Voltage," on October 9, 1967. With Jackie McLean (as), Blue Mitchell (tp), an early-career John Hicks (p), Bob Cranshaw (b), and Billy Higgins (d). The irresistible album closer. #jazzsky

I’d love to see her live. Her videos of live performances are incredible.

Gary Benny @grbenny.bsky.social · 4d

I’d guess it’s quite a challenge to build a smaller bass, with electronics, and not sacrifice the acoustic sound.

Gary Benny @grbenny.bsky.social · 4d

I don’t know much about acoustic basses. Does the Kolstein Busetto have electronics on board?

Gary Benny @grbenny.bsky.social · 4d

Don’t hold your breath. We’re getting dumber by the day

Gary Benny @grbenny.bsky.social · 4d

She’s so great - Not a bad selection in her whole catalog!

Gary Benny @grbenny.bsky.social · 4d

I love the stuff she did with Chick Corea
