Turns out it’s not just the musicians up on stage…
On Sunday a noticed a guy in the third row air drumming as he sang along. He was totally into it….awesome!

Hahahaha! I was just made aware of my "bass player face" this last Sunday. Awesome. Glad I'm not alone.

I second that, bass face is where it's at. Totally the best way to worship, the fingers the face and the heart.

I have to say, I love the fact that I know the guy in that picture, he’s the worship pastor at my church!

But yes, He is definitely a common example of the “Bass Player Face” (even though he is definitely not a bass player!).

Actually, the king of what you’re calling “bass player face” is the awesome guitarist, Joe Walsh. No one does it better!

Bass Face. Totally. We have a bass player or two that do great faces when playing.

One of my faves is David Amezcua of Under the Influence of Giants. Guy makes crazy faces!

As a classical bassoonist, I have to say… bass(clef) face is not anywhere near as cool as bass(guitar) face and this is a matter that distresses me most every day, especially as concerts draw near. But classical musicians do still make fantastic faces, and I certainly think in scat while I’m playing, so you’re right on that at least

Maestro,

This is intentional

If we do “bass face” and jump around like an idiot up front… then this is tacit permission for you to clap, and maybe even go completely crazy and sing.

It is silly and you have a great blog here.
