Maybe we should take a poll. I wonder how many black people actually come to the DMB boards here. Not very many I would assume. Maybe that's why you don't have a protest. But like I said, I have a pretty good sense of humor and I have friends who joke about stuff like that. Key word-Joke..they aren't really serious, which is what I was hoping for here.

Back to topic, if you really like scat, check Mraz out...
Any particular songs you suggest? I haven't heard too much mraz but I hear good thing about him.

Side Note: I love Carter's scating in warehouse...its pretty much scat

more like beat-boxing, but he does that spanish jibberish a litte bit.

As far as Mraz goes, Right Kind of Phrase, 1000 Things, Common Pleasure, 0% Interest (Toca Rivera, the bongo player does a cool scat at the end of the song).....try those out

PLUS... dave smokes and drinks alot. That might have to do with it. this black stereotype thing is hilarium. how come no black people on these boards are protesting on our asses?

you pretty much hit it right on...

it's not something you think about or like acquire,

it's just a personality thing. you don't think or learn it, you just feel it and it comes out. if your "feelin'" it, it will sound good. if you have to try at it it will be obvious and sound crappy.

so i guess you could say scatting is a talent, but anyone can do it if they are feelin' crazy/just feelin' good.

I scat, or at least I THINK I'm scatting when our band plays. Usually it's in a breakdown or in this bluesy type jam. I just go for it, and I use Dave as inspiration - see CP DVD to find out why.

Much of what he did that night was so over the top but it was good because of that fact. The best live performers just "go for it".

yeah i feel that scat is just being totally in sync with the music, he doesnt care wat the audience thinks its him and his guitar nothing else matters
