Don
Vappie knows about boring music.
In
the late 1970s, boring music prompted him to sell most of his
instruments and give up playing. And while some people consider
traditional jazz dull, Vappie begs to differ.
"I
got really bored when disco came out," the New Orleans native said
last week, talking about his time in a Top 40 group. "I always
remember when I quit the band - I was playing bass - I said, 'You
could teach a chimpanzee to do this,' because it was so
repetitious.
