play lines bass
I can't really sing and play live, because I can't play bass efficiently and sing at the same time. If I concentrated on the vocals, I'd mess up the bass, and if I concentrated on the bass, I'd forget the lines.
kings play crowds
I love to play smaller crowds with the Rhythm Kings.
play musician bass
I'm not a musician, I just play bass.
play want stones
I didn't want to stay in the Stones, and be stuck in a position having to play a music I didn't like anymore and that restricted me from doing all the others things I'm interested in because of time.
player sound boards
Onstage I like to play with a an 18-inch speaker, which very few bass players do. I need that fat, underneath sound, which I've always had. It suits me admirably to do it like that, and I can imitate that sound by plugging directly into the board in the studio.
respect player bass
I always got great respect as a bass player.
maybe playing special tv year
If they were doing something special, like maybe a TV special for the year 2000, playing the old songs, then maybe I'll do it.
beatles played record stage stones time together
It would have been the first time the Beatles and Stones collaborated on stage I suppose. We have played together on record in the past.
music playing small written
This small tour, playing clubs, where the music is best, and where the music was actually written for is not a way to make money.
bill born fans george name older perhaps resigned rolling stone stones william
I resigned myself to this eventuality. After all, it was the musician's name first (he's a lot older than I am, certainly, and perhaps more famous), and . . . But then I remembered. . . . Bill Wyman the Rolling Stone wasn't born Bill Wyman. . . . His real name, Stones fans know, is William George Perks.
pay sell
We don't sell so many records. When I make the album, I pay the musicians.

I have no restrictions, no limits, no musical history to live with.
british-musician sites
I have found two Roman sites in the area that I live in.
