Winnebago Deal are a rock music band from Oxford, United Kingdom.
 They started life in the late 1990s at Bartholomew School in Eynsham, with Ben Perrier (vocals, guitar) and Ben Thomas (then on guitar) writing songs then recruiting a drummer and bass player through an ad.
 They played their first gig in early 1999 and fired the bass player a few months later, with Ben Thomas switching from guitar to bass.
 By the summer of 2000, Perrier and Thomas' dissatisfaction with their drummer led to his departure, with Thomas switching from bass to drums so the band could continue as a two-piece.
 Winnebago Deal now consists of two Bens, Ben Perrier (vocals, guitar) and Ben Thomas (drums).
In country music, walkdown is a bassline which connects two root position chords whose roots are a third apart, often featuring an inverted chord to go between the root notes of the first two chords.
 See: slash chord.
 A walkup would be the converse.
 For example the chords G Major and E minor (a minor third apart) may be joined by an intervening chord to create stepwise motion in the bass: G-D/F♯ -Em (I-V6/4-vi).
 The second chord, D Major, is performed with its third note, the F#, in the bass.
 Walkdowns may be performed by the upright bass player, the electric bass player, the guitarist, or a piano player.
