Good verbs

[Henry]

The instructor in one of the poetry workshops in which I participated in my
twenties recommended Natalie Goldberg's "Writing Down the Bones."

One of my main takeaways from that book, and the workshop, was the metaphor
of nouns being the bones, and verbs the muscles of a sentence, with
adjectives being soft, pretty skin.

I've since thought percussion as being the bones and bass being the muscles
of music, particularly of rock and blues, with the lead guitar being the
attractive skin.  When you hear a band playing in the distance in a park,
the first thing you hear is the percussion and bass, and those are also the
parts that get you dancing.  This is part of what drove me to learn electric
bass, that is in addition to there already being too many hubristic lead
guitarists warring with each other.
