OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!
they'll be non of that

didn't mean to imply you'd be the one instigating it. just letting you know of a subtle but significant difference in the language and the slang. as in - if some dude asks you for a baiser he's not asking for a kiss.

that depends,.....can you play upright bass?

A bit. I'm left-handed and I've yet to see a lefty bass fiddle, but I can get by backwards. I played an upside down (right-handed) electric 5-string for 2 years, cuz they really needed a bass player, I didn't own a bass and they did, and I absolutely LOVED the music we were making. Off topic, but I figured I'd digress a little.
