Thursday Thirteen #16 -- More About Trevor Wolff
Over the past few weeks, I've been helping you guys get to know the characters of Trevor's Song in more depth. Here's some more about the star of this show, Trevor Wolff. Thirteen reasons why Trevor picked up the bass 1. Four strings means two less to learn. 2. Mitchell told him to. 3. Bass players are moody, elusive, and hypnotic. 4. Bass players were in short supply in Riverview at the time they decided to create the band. 5. Anything in short supply is in demand and therefore hot. Desirable. Maybe even respected. 6. Bass can be as much or as little as you want to make it, and it all sounds good. 7. Bass is the backbone of the metal sound even though most people don't pay attention to it. 8. It'd piss off Hank once he heard what his son was doing. 9. Mitchell's sister Amy bet him he couldn't do it (jury's still out on who won that bet). 10. It seemed the easiest thing to learn to play if he was going to be in this band he was dreaming up. 11. He could practice in his and Mitchell's room and not the garage, like if he had drums. 12. Mitchell's father, Patterson, showed up one night with a used bass in the back of his car and said that Trevor didn't need to pay him back for it if he'd learn to play it. 13. Whenever someone says he can't, that's a sign that he must. Have you been following the Debut a Debut submissions? See them here and expose yourselves to some great new reads.

Oh, yeah... Bass players ARE moody and hypnotic =)
And I´m sure, Trevor is, too!
I can´t play Bass... so, having a look at #13 I have to learn it now =)

Bass players are the coolest in band. And I like #7 (That’s why this is not Mitchell’s Song!)
Hugs my dear friend!
Happy Thursday!

LOL, I'd always wanted to play bass, and I finally went out and bought one a couple months ago. little did I realize I'd have to work on my moodiness, elusiveness and hypnoticism! :) happy TT, mine's up!
Since my first serious boyfriend was a bass player, and so is my husband, I can concur 100% with #4 (or whatever number was about them being moody and hypnotic).
I got hooked on Jaco Pastorius years ago when I met my first love, and have always loved a bass-playing guy. The backbone of the band.
My TT's up--a chance to win an advance copy of my new book!

Ha! Trevor sounds like my kind of fella, especially #13. If somebody tells me I "can't" do something, then Granny Bar the Door -- I'm gonna do it! :)
Happy TT, and thanks for visiting my blog.

good to see the live of a character...
He is yours, Susan??
He could be a modern day Morpheus(Morphée...)

Tempest, maybe you weren't hypnotic enough? *grin*
Interesting idea, Jill. I'll have to think about that some more!

My wife is a bass player...stand-up acoustic. She's very good and I love it when she bows it.
I added you to my favorite blogs list. Take care!

Anything is better than playing the drums *grins, ducks & runs*

I dated a guitar player once. He was moody and elusive but definitely not hypnotic. Great list for Trevor. I like #13 the best too.
Great TT! I really am getting to know your characters. Love the line "mitchell told him to" as well.
Happy TT.
Thanks for dropping by mine.

I love this list. What a great way to flesh out a character - much better than the standard "interview them" most writing books tell you to do.
Is it okay if I link to you on my "A Writer's Life" blog?

Trevor sounds like an interesting character. I'll have to check back to read more about the book and its characters.
