[Dixielandjazz] 23rd. Psalm for Bassists

[Kaye Wade]

   23RD PSALM FOR BASSISTS
 
   The Lord is my drummer; I shall not rush.
   He maketh me to lay out in tasteful places;
   He leadeth me beside cool meter changes;
   He restoreth my "one."
   He leadeth me in the right repeats
   For His name's sake.
 
   Yea, though I read through the trickiest road maps,
   I will fear no train wrecks;
   For You are with it;
   Your ride and Your snare, they comfort me.
 
   You setteth up a solo for me
   In the presence of mine guitarists;
   You annointeth my lines with drive;
   My groove overflows.
 
   Surely good feel and swing will follow me
   All the tunes of each set;
   And I will dwell in the pocket
   The whole gig long.
