Are there any Double Bassist in this group?

Comment by Steph S. on March 26, 2012 at 5:45pm

Good friends of mine have a band.

Comment by Terry Groff on March 26, 2012 at 6:27pm

This is my band "The Holland K. Smith Band" with guest guitarist Anson Funderburg. That's me on my '71 Harmony H22/1 Hollow body bass.

Hi everyone! I'm a rather new musician, I mostly do stuff on my iPad on a piano app and write lyrics for things. I haven't got any albums, but I'm looking forward to one day composing a full album maybe finding somebody to perform my songs. Hopefully. I'm happy to be here!

This is a really interesting combination of concepts.  I'm a jazz pianist.  To hear snippets of my playing, go to YouTube and search Alan Perlman jazz piano.  Some jazzers credit God for their improvisational abilities.  I say it's totally human - but still mysterious.

A couple of "Atheist" songs:

Imagine by John Lennon

Losing My Religion by R.E.M.

Any more?

Atheist songs? I've written a few - e.g. "Adam's Grave" - a song about an atheist epiphany. A recording of it is available on youtube but I won't put a URL here because that smacks too much of self-promotion. But I'm up for any new projects if any of you atheist musicians are interested.

Losing My Religion is not really an Athiest song. The phrase of the title means to get so angry that you stop being polite and kind.

I'd go with XTC's Dear God and The Cure's This is a Lie.

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 9 Comments

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Posted by Christy Stewart on May 20, 2013 at 2:17pm 6 Comments

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…
