I'd like to thank Satan Claus for pointing out that we neglected the bass guitar in our thread about Guitar Gods that you would have liked to hear in church. http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,868872 Similarly, we neglected the upright bass and stringed instruments in general.

Flea and Bela Fleck, yo.

I was remiss and unintentionally exclusionary, and I apologize.

So, what musician/group would you like to hear play in church?

("There can only be one," m'kay? I haven't chosen mine yet.)

Yes, VultureTamernotloggedin. Mayer, douchtastic as he is, plays not too badly. ;-)

fakemoroni, shoot me an email?

Take it away...

I think bassoons are greatly neglected.

I love woodwinds. I wish I knew how to play the oboe.

Sun Ra. He would clarify everything.

Every smart-A reply causes a kitten to perish.

I'd like a good drummer too, would really liven things up. There's so many to choose from. How about Ginger Baker or Alex Gonzalez (look him up on youtube he's amazing)

Keith Moon.

LOL- my bass teacher plays for his church. He played some of their set for me, and before I really thought about it, I blurted out that if they played music like that at the church I grew up in, I'd probably still be going.

Maybe I need to work on tact? LOL.

So is this still for in the church? If so, it would have to be George C and the Parliment of Funk. How kick ass would that service be? Diapers, flashlights, pogo-ing, UFOs....

I won't say what will be used for the sacrament, but glow sticks and pacifiers would seem to be the next logical evolution of the service.

I saw it in Philly -- who's the new conductor? He's amazing. Q&A afterwards? Wow.

ETA: I think Dr. Demento played the Shaving Cream song.

it doesn't exactly lend itself to the symphonic. the new Music Director is Yannick Nezet-Seguin. Haven't been this season yet, leg doesn't like the seating at the Kimmel Center.

Neal Peart. World's best living drummer, bar none.

Peart's 8 min solo as a 50 year old in Rio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2l6tk-Q9VU

3 min solo as a 60 year old: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZO2kjzju88 with Geddy Lee bonus on bass

Ignore everybody and listen to Geddy on bass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OImhmxDZ7A
