Wow - just got home from Snarky Puppy - awesome show.
Stephen
I watched some videos of Stills and Shepherd a year or so ago. It's an interesting combination. Here's For What It's Worth (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUJ2VcaxyOg). And yes, that's Chris Layton on drums.
This is great stuff ! I am influenced by this " FULL SAIL " playing !
In the mid 1980's I had a girl friend that loved this band. She was from Manchester , England as this band is as well . She had to go home back to England as a result of an American immigration mistake ! We were both heartbroken ! One day they just grabbed her and sent her away !!!!! Governments are NOT conducive to true love !

Really surprised by this one. . . . Listening to the radio and they start playing Steve Miller Fly Like an Eagle . . . Yawn - heard this a million times.
But wait! This is a live version and they are in the groove letting time slip, and a bonus bass solo at around 10:40.
Listen, you may be surprised at the new life put into this dusty old classic.
Not sure who the bassist is but he sure can pick it!
John Scofield with Gov't Mule (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC_sW1PFqqg). This is fun.
Bill mentioned the Second Movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. Here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbNGklNz8Yk) is a powerful performance of that piece.Wow. Thanks for posting that. I'm floored by that performance.
Peter (who puts much more stock in Levon's version that Robbie's)
(pretty sure that's Lee Sklar on bass)
Thanks, Toby; that's a new one on me - gonna have to delve deeper.That blackbird album is the most 'bluesy' of their albums. The others are much more reggae/ska/R&B inspired. I went to a lot of their live shows while living in NZ. So good live.
Named in honor of Fat Freddy Freekowtski, perhaps?
Peter
<edit> I was close: the Wikipedia page says the name comes from recording their first song while dropping blotter with a pic of Fat Freddy's Cat on each piece. Digging them more already.
Vinyl! :D
Yes; it's been noticed. We're wondering if it's confined to Apple devices. What device were you using when you made the post?A 2008 Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop running Vista Home Premium..
YouTube can keep a person occupied for quite some time . . . .
I found another cool Phil one after watching Dave's link.
As I type I am getting my first-ever taste of Janiva Magness (https://youtu.be/a0ZSJAkbnV8); not 100% about her yet, but 2 verses in it seemed like I should share the discovery & see what y'all thought.
Peter
Tony Levin with his Stick! Great fun.
On a different website George Harrison came into the conversation . . . here's one of his with Willie Weeks.
Dynamo was a blast. A really fun aspect for me is watching how much the musicians are enjoying themselves and their cohorts. That energy is so infectious.
What was that freaky trumpet_oboe_synth_clarinet thingy? Dude was laying it down with that thing!
The PHC vid was great - but Wakeman just doesn't seem right without a cape.....
Peter
Argus was a favorite for me; the first four Wishbone Ash albums are all good. When I first heard the first song on the first album I was impressed with their sound; twin lead guitars, a great drummer, and wonderful bass.
Here is Throw Down The Sword (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CohG31ecYfA) from Argus.
Everything Esperanza does is amazes me; some of it I like to listen to, some I just appreciate. But I love watching all of it.......She is a sight, and her voice and playing, a tri-fecta!
Peter (who only pays attention to her fingering. Really. ;D )
Stephen I really enjoyed that.
Be sure to give us a review after the show!
In memory of Sib Hashian, I'm listening to Boston's first. Forty years later and it still blows me away.
That was nice on this beautiful morning; thanks, Greg.
Isn't Springtime in the mountains fantastic? It's going to be nice up here today too. ;)
... it does my soul SO much good to sit with a cup of coffee & watch the hills in the AM.........
Listening to a whole lot of David Hudson followed up by miscellaneous Tuvan stuff on the hard drive.
Sometimes you just need a lot of digiridoo and throat singing to help you feel grounded . . . . today has certainly been one of those days.
David Hudson:
I've been on an Eagles kick while taking some time off work this week... "The Best of The Eagles", (both volumes) has been spinning on the dusty cd player in the shop. I had overlooked this decidedly country-fied tune: https://youtu.be/X2LfRsWx97s (https://youtu.be/X2LfRsWx97s)
Regarding Alison K... I'm in firm agreement with Peter. ;D
More Hiromi (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY5dTBhRxOA). This is just so ...Thanks, Dave. I love Hiromi. Hadn't heard that one. I could watch her play for hours on end. Very few musicians perform with the outward joy she plays with.
Her command of the instrument is beyond words.
My first impression is that it has the classic Fleetwood Mac sound with cleaner (more modern) production, I'd like to hear the rest of the album :)

Allman Bros. Band at the Fillmore East. It's never been better than this. Disappointed I only got to see them play live on a single occasion.I listened to this last night..... listened to Whipping Post a few times.
... as there were Mothers or Bluesbreakers
I'm listening to Fleetwood-Mac's "Mirage" album this morning, which was released 35 years ago today. Lindsey Buckingham borrowed a theme from Pachelbel's "Canon in D" for "Eyes of the World". Always made me smile when nobody could figure where they'd heard that before. :)

I remember seeing her and her band at Telluride in 1989...
I listened to two or three things from Steve Topping's Late Flower yesterday after seeing it discussed in Jimmy's thread. Some nice ideas compositionally, and some very nice fretless work by Jimmy.
Here is Strolling Boy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njpeaKJHBio); beautiful lead lines from Jimmy. Gary Husband on drums.
Danny Gatton - talk about a guitar slinger!If you like him (and haven't) heard it already, check out his album wig Joey DeFrancesco titled 'Relentless'.
Super first frame ;)
Beth Orton - Central Reservation; here is one song from it:
The title song was the first song that I listened to after a difficult passing of a family member. Even though that song has nothing to do with the event it is forever captured in my heart as being connected.
And interestingly enough this whole album (as it should) captures a moment of this performers career and there is a thread that links all of the songs together - so for me this whole album is bittersweet, sad and forever dear.
Enjoy
Interesting how when the melody goes to that high figure the meter goes to five. So interesting, I looked up the chart (http://www.celticguitarmusic.com/five.png) and followed along. The chart shows alternating measures of three and two, since the rest of the piece is charted in two.
Nice tune; and nice use of time changes.
I think we're going to perform "Five Miles from Town" in competition at the Old Fiddler's Convention in Galax next month ...

John Zorn - The Mysteries. Beautiful and mystical. Bill Frisell on guitar, Kenny Wolleson on vibes and Carol Emmanuel on harp.

Def Leppard - "Hysteria". I suddely felt compelled this afternoon to play some 80's hair/glam metal... needed to work with a pick for a while anyway. I enjoyed it, and don't care who knows it. So there. 8)Pour some sugar on me : my air guitar song for more than a decade.

I was going to write that this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_n5YAolWVM) is cute, but thought I should add that its also inventive and instructive. It moves back and forth between jazz styles and classical styles, using the same theme to get a feel for the stylistic differences.
That's great Rob. ;)
Del by the way, absolutely one of the nicest guys in the music biz. What a great human being.
What am I listening to now? Bootsy Collins. Always. Constantly. 24/7. For weeks, now. Xander is obsessed and he knows how to operate iTunes. A very funky 5 year old.
I never thought there could be too much Bootsy. Still not there, but maybe getting close.

Greg; I like the two tunes you linked. Which instrument will you be using with him?
Thanks for The Mystic.
One of my neighbors has a hound-type dog, the type whose bark is more of a long, mournful, and very loud wail. And we live in a mountain cove, which means that loud wail bounces off and around, and is amplified by, the surrounding walls of steep mountain sides. And when the dog gets started, it's constant, for very long periods of time.
So I'm listening to music; whether I really want to right now or not.

I don't remember the Allman Bros. doing that tune... Wow!
Like I was saying on the other thread, Coleman is one of the few bass guitar players to ever have successfully 'sold' the instrument to a larger bluegrass audience that usually doesn't accept anything other than an upright ... His work with Washington D.C.-based headliners The Seldom Scene, (and later, crossover band Chesapeake) put him on a national stage with it.
Meyer and Thile's energy and interplay (in that video) makes me want to laugh, cheer and bounce around.
I had the Steve Gadd Band playing on the tube in the Control Room today, while entering seemingly endless pages of data to spreadsheets... somewhere in the midst of this mind-numbing exercise, I suddenly realized the auto-play had gone to something else.
I then realized yet another reason why Jimmy J. is one of my bass heroes. Behold, "Keeping Up with the Gaddashians".

Earlier today I was noticing how just this one instrument I work on needs much more practice time than it's been getting. For me, any other instrument will have to wait until the next lifetime.
Well, there's actually a medical basis. I've been having trouble sleeping and while I don't think I have full on apnea, my sleep doctor suggested that I might have a touch of it and playing didgeridoo would help. I did some research and found out that oboe strengthens the same muscle areas, so it seemed like it was worth a shot.
Grandsons. 2 arrived yesterday, one this morning; the 4th comes tomorrow.

Working on a rendition of this Van Morrison tune with the new grass group more as done by the Allman Brothers (see video) than the original (since there is only one Van Morrison). Is sounding surprising good with mandolin and fiddle and only acoustic guitar and this version allows for some nice places for players to really stretch out.

Our video with Dead Guise from 3/10/18 :)
Interestingly, the bass was very inconsistent; some notes loud, some inaudible. Is that a function of the pickup and preamp? Or are my ears just losing more frequencies?
I'm going to say, chalk that one up to the contrary nature of upright basses, Dave. I love 'em... no telling how much, but accurately amplifying upright basses has foiled many a player and sound-dude.
"A freebie for you all: Best sound I ever got from an upright was from an SM58 with the barrel wrapped in a bar towel, then stuck in the hole of bridge. "
Peter
There he is... after all these years, I have finally found 'That Guy', and his name is Peter. ;D
I've done the old SM58 in a bar towel trick many times, and you know what - it is better than half the junk out there. One of the best contraptions I ever saw was a homemade thing that clamped to the edge of the bass and held a good ol' SM57 right in place. Still, amplifying an upright bass presents a huge problem. It's just physics man... you simply can't have something that big designed to resonate naturally anyway, on a stage with a bunch of other low frequency resonance at high gain. It's a disaster trying to happen. The bar towel (or notch filters) is just slowing it down. ;D
Man, I love Tedeshi Trucks. They're so fun to listen to.
Last listen was Ten Mile Jog-George Duke band. It came onto my radio channel and I had to re-listen to it over and over all night at work. SO good! :D

The bass player gets to shine a bit more here, as do all the musicians.
A grouping of live Fleetwood Mac tunes/performances...
...I've listened to Peter Kater's recordings for a number of years, but just found this video and was surprised that it was unrehearsed and improvised.
... Fascinating, how each left just enough space for the other. I've often described music as a language, and a particular piece being played as a conversation. Some are written out, rehearsed and performed to perfection, others are spoken in cadence, and some are completely improvised.
Yes; I've been here a while. :)
Kiln House art work has a Whistle Rhymes vibe to it.

Awaken (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwspoyRdeV0) - Jon Anderson with Todmobile live in Iceland
This is very good. If you like this song, I think you'll like this rendition. If you're not familiar with the song, it builds, so stay with it.
I don't think I had ever heard of Todmobile before; there's a lot of people on stage. The orchestration works very well with Awaken. And Anderson appears to love it.
After Awaken, they start in on Roundabout; but the video ends in the middle of that song. So if you don't want to be disappointed, stop after Awaken.
... As I listened to this and the song began to grow I kept turning up the volume till it wouldn’t go anymore ... So many feelings came out as I heard this powerful rendition.

Fleetwood Mac's new lineup live. The Chain (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VElI89y_-QI). Gypsy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD2EUMr_Fww).
I recall the late Glen Campbell introducing John Hartford to play a little song called “Gentle on my Mind” on what I think was called the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour.
Well he played it on the banjo. But you all know what I mean.
...speaking of old stuff, a friend played me Crazy Horses by the OSMONDS - yeah, those Osmonds...blew my mind! I had no idea they ever actually did any cool songs...
The Lawrence Welk was great... but please sit down for this - it showed up in the side bar on YouTube while watching LW.
The Ross Sisters:
Unreal, just unreal.
Yes. Well, sort of; there are 2 of them now. White, Howe, & Downes have "Yes", with Billy Sherwood & a singer I've never heard of. I saw "Yes featuring Anderson, Rabin, and Wakeman" - + 2 other guys.
Drums & bass were serviceable. Rabin can play, but he's no Howe. Anderson & Wakeman were, well, Anderson & Wakeman. A pretty good show. And to make it better, the (lawn) tickets were free. And best yet, it was at Ravinia - where the guy in charge of sound is Norm Krueger, who worked with me for 2 different bands in the early & mid '80s, and was my roommate '80-'83; not only did he slip us into pavilion seats, it was the first time I'd seen him in 18 years!

Well, you're right - to be honest, I'm assuming way too much. A pair of pre-war 000-28's + (one of) Grisman's 23' Lloyd Loar F5 still wouldn't be $500K. It's still an expensive little jam there, but my goodness it sounds good in their hands. :)

Thanks, gregory - that was one of the nicest "CR&S"s I've ever heard - so of course I'm moved to respond with Peter, Tony, Bryn, and Sharon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p0AryAE6Bw) doing it (oh, and did I mention Bryn?)

Ravi Coltrane with Tedeschi Trucks - Midnight In Harlem (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwtVgPwsDPc&feature=youtu.be)
From two nights ago; audience video. The playing here is wonderful; wish the audio quality was a little better. Loved what Coltrane added in his solos.
The new one(s) were fabulous, love, love love his new band and arrangements.

Because Edwin mentioned it in a different thread.
An interview/ performance of Zorn’s Cobra.
At around 6:30 his description of his observations of this piece blew my mind.
Edwin, I bet it was a thrill performing it.
It was amazing and very different from this one. Erik Deutsch had hooked up with Zorn and gotten the instruction book and some pointers (I guess Zorn doesn't hand it out that often). We rehearsed pretty intensely, learning all the hand signals and rules. I think I have an audio recording of it somewhere and there was a video. I would love to get that. The audience loved it. We had horn players, DJs, upright bass, electric bass, accordion, guitars, drums, percussion, and all kinds of things. It was a huge listening experience and afterwards Ron Miles gave me my best complement ever "You have big ears."
If you don't know who Ron Miles is, he's well worth looking into. He plays regularly with Bill Frisell and back in the day was in Ginger Baker's Denver jazz band. I did the audio for this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4ypIX4F0TA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4ypIX4F0TA)
Pretty challenging to record a band in the round in a dining room.
My buddy over at Bluegrass Today sent me another Hawktail tune: https://youtu.be/4GLkj5uGDiw (https://youtu.be/4GLkj5uGDiw)
Not much in mainstream bluegrass has interested me for a while now, but these youngsters playing out on the fringes of it, particularly this fringe, have gotten my full attention. I'm not sure how much room there is for this out there, but I am very excited that it's happening in my time. You know... instead of 100 years ago, or 100 years from now.

I was planning to go to bed early tonight, but then this happened:
The Mule does Pink Floyd (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv9RlJv1E0g)
Not pro-shot, and some of the cameras are not synced with the sound, but the main camera is synced and the sound is good; and it's Government Mule doing Pink Floyd. I doubt I'll watch the whole thing tonight, but so far, it's pretty good. Doesn't sound nothing like Pink Floyd or David Gilmour, but it's not supposed to. It has, however, put a smile on my face.
That is a nice tune, Rob. Guessing Jerry played the pedal steel?
The lyrics are timely too... I'm just starting to try to play again. I can't remember ever taking this much time off from playing, but today marked the first time I've tried to practice since the operation - a little past a month ago.

Joyful was nice; thanks!
The Molly Tuttle tune was well-timed Dave, as I've been sitting here banging away on my beat up old D-18 again today, slowly finding my way back. Golly, that little girl grew up to be a fine guitar player!

A bass solo to end Comfortably Numb?Yes, that's the one. lol. I take the second break since the guitarist takes the first. I think it's kind of comical, but hey everyone seems to like it.
This Comfortably Numb (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTseTg48568)?
Cool!
That was very nice. thanks :D
Agreed - quite enjoyable - and it yielded another sidebar pleasure (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyHipL45pwM). I hadn't seen Steve play in years - for some reason, if you'd asked me, I would have sworn he picked 3-finger. So I can go to bed now, having learned something new today. Trivial, perhaps new.

Nice Fish video. The sound quality of the video is good and her playing comes through nicely.
... The Steve Wilson, interesting! First time hearing it.
BASta!2 - Vertigo. Joris Vanvinckenroye on Double Bass. Great Looping! He is also the Bassist for the Belgian group - Aranis. There is also a bit of flute too.
The ticket to your brain, Brainticket
Wow! I was surprised because I was heavily into euro psychedelic bands from the 70s and hadn't heard them before. New jeopardy category lol. That song came over the radio channel I was listening to and ba-zing! What the heck moment that was.The ticket to your brain, Brainticket
Trippy!
A quick search finds that the keyboard player is an original member of the band, and the band has been around since 1968, off and on. According to Wikipedia, their first album "came with a warning label that insisted you should "only listen once a day to this record. Your brain might be destroyed,” which led to the album being banned in several countries including the USA".

Cool stuff, Pauldo,what was the device with the blue light that he stareted off with in his picking hand?
Miho Arai - The Silent Within
The performance begins around 2:20. Previous to that is Steve Vai introducing the album, Piano Reductions, Vol. 2, which is Miho Arai playing piano arrangements of Vai songs.
That Steve Miller truly was exciting... it was the freshest old version of a song I have heard.
Which reminded me of a favorite of his... not the best recording but Gerald Johnson tears it up!

Saw Sam Bush with Newgrass Revival and that show was amazing. Thanks for sharing the Sam Bush. :D

Earl & the Agitators:And former member of Savoy Brown. So many people passed through that band. Most of Foghat did, I think?
The "Earl" of the name is Foghat drummer Roger Earl; guitar & vocals by Scott Holt, who spent about 20 years with Buddy Guy.

The bass player looks quite comfortable sitting on a stool with the bass in a more reclined position than usual for an upright.I saw Alex Blake with Randy Weston about ten years ago, he sat really low behind the bass, and sometimes it would be nearly horizontal. Also an Alembic player, with Manhattan Transfer.
... I'm gonna see Brit Floyd this summer in San Francisco!
A correction on the bass player. It's Bob Magnusson on bass and Joe Porcaro on drums.
It's mix but I love so much about this. ;DWell Interesting, in the past couple of years Jive Bunny is often on the 80's festivals I play at with Musical Youth.
Stefanie, you have any recordings of your bands mashups?
I used to be in a band that did this:
https://soundcloud.com/pdrapeau/medley-no-9 (https://soundcloud.com/pdrapeau/medley-no-9)
A real thrill to play, you couldn’t just settle into a groove you had to be on your toes for the next change.
We started working on a second “Medley” but then the band broke up... :'(
... Note to Dave: #77-621 really sings on this one! ;)
Well I'm listening to Rhiannon Giddens now!
Enjoyed Fanny... wonder if there is more footage from that session.
Stefanie, thanks for that. Such pure rock-n-f’n-roll! No pretentiousness, just raw.
I wanted to smash their instruments at the end of that last song. :D ;D
Each member shines in that brief session... but that keyboardist!!!!
Disappointed that they didn’t make it “big”, but grateful beyond words that the WWW has given them an archive that we all can enjoy.
Portnoy, Sheehan, Macalpine, Sherinian - Hell's Kitchen & Lines In The Sand
I'm in New Jersey at the completion of The Strawbs 50th Anniversary Weekend!
Just back from a big band rehearsal with a bad drummer. I’m listening to the metronome to relax.
Here was a fun little mandolin thing a bunch of us did a few years ago...
Because I'll be in front of a computer about all day, I'll YouTube the entire 5/8/77 Cornell U. show... but this is a favorite from the Summer of '77. Phil's bass tutorial on the Key of G.
The Pancho and Lefty was nice too. That's an interesting looking banjo; and it sounds nice the way she's playing it.
Booker T at Daryl's House - Green Onions
That was a nice Sultans Of Swing. Reminds me I need to dig out the Dire Straits stuff again. :)
After we opened for them last night, I hung out backstage and watched Love Canon's set. Man, those guys are just fantastic. Very personable too. They surprised me with this one... if you know about L/C, their schtick is covering 1980's pop using bluegrass instrumentation, but they pulled one from the 1780's just for giggles.
He's just insanely great. I'll be obtuse though and say this; my favorite part is what Stan plays over the keys segment beginning at about 6:00 in. Looks like he maybe rolls the filters back a bit, and goes to downbeats with just his thumb. That little bass gets plumb mean sounding! I about choked on my headphone cable and spilled my coffee trying to back it up. ;DHe's playing his tenor, A-C, so I think the plumpishness may owe a lot to his using an octaver there.
Bridget K. fan from waaaay back here. :D Joy Kills Sorrow days. Word travels pretty fast in bluegrass and oldtyme music circles, so it didn't take long for her to really make an entrance. And the ones of us that play upright bass knew immediately... she's a monster. Absolutely, go see Lake Street Dive... more of the sane, just better.
Alison Krauss, guests with Phil & Friends on "Morning Dew" last week in MO.
Totally shoulda' laid a fiddle solo on 'em... just my two cents of course. ;)
I hear these guys get all their instruments road-ready at The Scroll Shop ( . . . . well, probably not the accordion . . . . . ).

Lotta' people heard of this old fiddle tune because of Charlie Daniels' tale about the Devil and a Golden Fiddle and an impromptu contest, but just like Fire on the Mountain, Run Boys Run, and Granny Does Your Dog Bite, mentioned in the the lyrics, Hell's Broke Loose in Georgia is a popular one. Bryan Sutton and Stuart Duncan did a pretty good job renderin' it here...
Listening to this, I kept hearing "We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'...."

The stereo imaging on that recording is remarkable. I've been listening with the cans on this morning, and it's really something. Maybe because most of what I've been listening to the last couple days has been live concert footage.

I came to Reggae not through Bob Marley, but rather through “The Harder They Come” album and movie, which included the above “Pressure Drop”. Great album!

Mica, we both must be channeling ELP.
I miss Keith Emerson, the best I ever saw. Absolute matador to stand there looking out at the crowd and playing a keyboard at the end of both arms, 180 degrees apart. These guys were giants, what with Greg Lake's vocals, bass, and guitar work, and Carl Palmer behind them.
I saw them touring post-release of BRAIN SALAD SURGERY (just the best album cover, ever) with a QUAD PA. We had seats in the 20th-something row and there were the two speaker stacks at stage left and right, duplicated some 40-odd rows BEHIND me. All the tricks, with Carl's drum riser spinning like a merry-go round during his solo, and when the performed 'Karn Evil 9', in the middle of the mostly piano 2nd impression, where you hear the 'steel drum' synth lines, his 8-foot Steinway levitated off the stage. They'd bolted the piano on a frame on a lift, attached the piano stool to the same frame, belted him in, and here's the whole think rolling end over end. Yikes !!!
For keyboard players, real piano is kind of like acoustic guitar: No electric tricks or effects, you can hear everything. He was a master, what a shame he's gone.

Fareed Haque was very nice, thanks for posting. I hadn’t heard him before and will look into his music!
Feel the song. I'm pretty sure that's what they were doing.
The above video really threw me for a loop as the bass keys seemed to be on the right side of the keyboard - until I realized this was a mirror image recording and, therefore, backwards!.

Stephen, someone drew my attention to the 2/11/70 Show at Fillmore the other day, because several members of Fleetwood Mac and the Allman Bros. were in for a jam... did you happen to make that show? I'm curious about who was in on it. I figured Peter Green, maybe Jeremy Spencer at that time.

I'll never forget the first time the HGB guys told me we were going to cover Billie-Jean for a gig. I really thought Josh was pulling my leg. Then Gabe sent me an arrangement. I thought, okay, so it's a band hazing... I'll play along. :) Turned out, they were totally serious.
Then I learned it. Super-fun tune, especially in a Franklin Co. newgrass/jamband outfit. I hope they put it back in the set, if we ever get to play again that is. ::)

I remember seeing that for the first time at the Uptown Theater. The Kids Are Alright, we loaded into our neighbors Suburban brought the bong and had a most excellent evening. I was on the cusp of 16 and got my first bass that Christmas!! 8)

Earlier today The Lovely And Charming Mrs. Cowboy (and I thus as well) was listening to some Paul Simon; among the songs I heard was "Graceland" - and it hit me once again: Yes, he's had a 5-decade-plus career turning out some of the finest songs ever composed; his place as a Great American Poet, however, would be secure if he'd never written anything except the line "The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar".
Peter
And also wrote: “do do do do feelin’ groovy”.
(Just pulling your lower appendage. Simon is right up there with just a few others like Dylan, Lennon/McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Pete Townsend, Jagger/Richards, and, IMHO, Hunter/Garcia).

Yeah, hard to believe it has been that long though.
John Mayer has a new album out. I've listened to one song, Wild Blue. What's striking, and why I'm sharing it here, is the strong Mark Knopfler influence in his playing on this song. (I'm also hearing some Grateful Dead influence (Touch of Grey?) in the sound of the chorus section.)

Forwarded to HGB bandleader... Josh absolutely needs to cover this, newgrass-style, fall-season.
Was at the garden watering with headphones and my MP3 player.
I remember when this album first came out and it seemed a tad ‘poppy’ or ‘lightweight’ compared to the earlier Yes stuff that I cut my teeth on. This one has since slipped into my deserted island disc collection.
Nice job, Tom. Right on it, man. 8)
Tangential question, for posting 'bass covers' on tunes like this... I've seen/watched thousands of bass covers probably. I learn from them. I made quite a few during the gig-less 2020 season, playing along with this or that - but every time I tried to post one, even when clearly marked as such, I got a little nasty-gram from YT and it was blocked.
I don't know how to set up the channel to give proper credit so whoever gets paid whatever. I don't want any of it, I just want to share uploads with my whopping circle of 8 subscribers. (yeah, ain't nobody much cares what the ham-sandwich I'm playin' anyway...)

Vince Gill's masterful 4-CD set, THESE DAYS, and his partner record with steel wizard Paul Franklin, BAKERSFIELD, their tribute to the Hag, Buck, that Bakersfield suite of country music.
… his Rogue Bass. I think you might enjoy it too. The bass sounds great…
Last night I watched this video posted in one of the facebook Alembic by one of the members I struck a conversation with about his Rogue Bass. I think you might enjoy it too.The bass sounds great and to my beginner "dead head" ears this as flavours of Mr Lesh even though he is not using a pick.
Only had time for a little taste right now - but, based on what I heard in that I will most certainly be giving the whole thing a listen later; very nice (and with an actual, full-sized bass speaker, yet! Far too rare these days, to my ears.)

Very nice playing! I wonder what the effect is on the Yuke? Seems to be a combo of reverb and delay of some kind. Nice porch to hang out on and jam on as well!
Great rendition. What instrument is that? Hybrid ukulele?
It's a 5-string ukulele; as near as I know, 5-string ukes always have the 4th & 5th as a unison paired course, rather than adding another note.
And I find I must let the teacher in me have his say: The name is properly pronounced oo-coo-LAY-lay, not "yuke-a-LAY-lee".

Heard the audio for this before he released this home video. The video doesn't add much except for those who like to see how he plays the lines.

I've been listening to Fried Glass Onions Vol1 & 2. Like many cover compilations there is the occasional arrangement that does nothing for me but overall they are all very good. On a side note in a former band we use to cover their arrangement of She Came in Through the Bathroom Window and it always went over well with the audience.

John Mayer has covered a lot of ground in his career, and he covers it well.\
Another Dust To Digital gift:
I was referencing Greg’s previous post.
My late friend Tom Dundee (who - when the vid actually gets around to the song - seems to be playing my late friend Mick Scott's '53 D-28):As unmistakable as Norm's D-18 in the vid I posted of Tut. Listen to how crisp it gets when he plays back at the bridge. D-28's (particularly 50's models) have a weird mid-scooped range like that. If you ever learn how to control one, they are a devastating rhythm instrument. If you don't, they are a soundguy's nightmare.

Listened to a version of "China Cat Sunflower" by Ukranian Jam band Las Horsa Bianca that was really unique and interesting. Amazing how far the whole Dead thing has spread culturally.

There seems to be a wire running from the bridge; I'd assumed that was for the pick-up, and the cushion was to mute the strings betwixt bridge & tailpiece.

That is an adaptation of Cozmik Cowboy's; SM57-in-a-bar-towel technique of mic'ing an upright... tried and true. Looks like a bar seat cushion! I swear, I thought Gracie had a pickup on her bass... it must have give out on her. Man, I've been there.
I believe you're right. Hard to see that detail on my little screen. Interesting they had to mute her bass. I reckon they were having trouble with low end feeding back in the monitors? I know that stage well... it's Felts Park in Galax, Virginia.

Guy Pratt breaks down his playing on that track.
I’ll check out the two musicians you listed, David. Just wondering why you download flac, and what can Flac files be played on?
... As much as I like Bandcamp I admit that it can be hard to find stuff. I have gotten better at searching over time. Here is a link to my collection I buy a lot of diverse stuff.

Alembic player and force of nature Peter Steele and TYPE O NEGATIVE. A 6 foot 8 inch giant playing a medium scale Spoiler for many years.
... Great perspective on the process, esp about individual tracks not being stellar in isolation but great in the mix ...
Johnny Kelley contributed to four tracks on BLAK29’s first album and he and Tommy Victor of Prong and Danzig are on two covers on our next release.
I've never seen someone play so slow, on the beat.

Worth pointing out John's early Alembic bass. And Lindsey playing a Strat, with a great BIG pick.

Ganja Smuggling, Eek-A-Mouse (Wa-Do-Dem album).
Gosh that takes me back, i have a mate who knew i couldn't get to grips with Eeek-a-mouse songs and used to sing these songs at the top of his voice in the car when we were going out driving. Funny how things turn out, i met Eeek back stage at a festival we were both playing at. Really nice guy and really tall.

Went out to see The County Line Jam Band (yes, that's "County Line" as in "I'm gonna walk you up and down....").
The wife & mother of the two guitarists told me that they have their own PA & soundman, but the venue insisted that they use the house system & "engineer". 19:00 load-in, 21:00 start time, clown shows up at 21:28 (in all fairness to him, his girlfriend came with him, and I can see why he was so late). Only had the vocals in FOH - and still couldn't make them heard.
Drummer was a basic hit-them-as-hard-as-you-can-sans-any-subtlety type. Bass & guitars, however, were quite good. As mentioned above, the guitars are father & son; mom said the lad (on lead) had played sax - 8th-grade jazz band when in 6th grade, etc. - and had no interest in the Dead. Then Dad told him that the 50th Anniversary shows were history, and he was going! On the way out, he said "Yeah, I'm gonna need a guitar." Didn't look old enough to be playing in a bar, but he was really starting to get the feel of it.
But the bummer of the night (besides the "soundman", and the gummy I recalled I had in the drawer turning out to be too old to do much) was the discovery that a loud electric band & my new hearing aids are not a good match. Curses, foiled again! That really harshes my mellow; I mean it was bad enough being forced to acknowledge that even in my delusional fantasy world I'll never be anyone's soundman again, but can't take a full set of a band?!?. As my dad has always said, "The whole world's turning to horse manure!"

... As the bassist at this gig, it was a privilege for me to have shared the stage with such gifted female vocalists. As well, there are two Alembic instruments being played on stage.

First time I heard this song there were 6 of us in a cabin in the Northwoods - dosed some shrooms and just grooving on life. This is a remote, no electricity, no running water, out-house tucked back in the woods and a beautiful lake right out back. Only 3 cabins on the east side, tucked in the middle of the Chequamegon forest. Isolated surrounded by nature, great place to trip….
Anyhow - listening to this whole album on a battery powered boom box - the ending of the song went on and on and on. It’s the last song on the disc, after it finished it felt like there was a half hour of silence before a collective ( and quiet) “whoa” was emitted from the group.
Followed by laughter and tears rolling down the cheeks, then we probably went outside and wandered in the forest.
- reminiscing on that event brings a melancholy mood, life seemed simpler and the world was less messed up back then.
I listened to this entire concert over the course of an afternoon... I really hadn't tuned-in and paid attention to Bela's new project, but it is truly remarkable. And not to sell his supporting band short either; there's not too many musicians on the planet you can call up for this kind of gig, and he has them all on speed-dial... these folks are the A-list of acoustic music. Some of it is heavy-listening, very little of it is jam-able, all of it is incredibly well-performed.

Reminds of a string ad in Guitar Player some decades past; forget the company, but the endorser was Tommy Tedesco, who it said "plays 33 different stringed instruments*
*All guitar tuned"
Which made me think "He plays 33 shapes of guitar, not 33 instruments".

Just Watching Blondie in concert 199 Glastonbury on BBC.Found this Vintage Guitar interview (https://www.vintageguitar.com/32657/chris-stein-blondies) where he says he has a couple of Lieber guitars, which might well be in that style.
One of the guitarists has a guitar which looks like a nod to the Tribute body style but i couldn't read the headstock name but the shape is a bit like the headstock on the teardrop guitar Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones used.
Been listening to shows from the Allman Betts Family Revival tour. Opinions vary in the comments, but I don't have an axe to grind with any of it... I think it's great to hear their music played on generationally. They open the show with a recording of Little Martha, and slideshow. (whole 11/26/23 set here, Nashville, IN.)

Vince Gill and Amy Grant put on an annual Christmas show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville every year. Ain't no tellin' what old guitars Vinnie might haul across town for the gig. This year, it was Robben Ford's old '59 ES-335. (seen in a different interview)
Anyway, Vince has a little sentimental fun with the intro to one of his hits. Solo at 4:11 is so smooth.
And wound that old 335 up for the outro here: (3:55 > out...)

Yup, that there’s the original Strat-O-Blaster.Cool. I saw them open for the Stones at Rich Stadium in 1975 (With my dad, sister and brother. I was 11 about to go into middle school) and a couple more times after that. Maybe opening for ZZ Top and once as the headliners.

Don't tell anybody ok?
OK, I have an admission to make. Although the linked "movie" version above is a rerecording, I actually played on the original release of this awful novelty song. So I might be the reason the bass part (mostly under the CB radio chatter) has some active moments. ;D Drummer Bill Berg and I occasionally travelled from Minneapolis to Omaha and St. Louis in the mid-70's to work for a jingle company and this was one of the sessions we played on. Usually 3-songs in 3-hours so we probably made about $30 each on it and figured we'd never have to hear it again. But no. Pop music can be fickle! Eventually they sent me a framed Platinum Single (!!) but I couldn't decide if I was happy or just embarrassed.That is so cool. I will keep it a secret.
Don't tell anybody ok?

Especially nice up in the shop this morning. How in the world do these jazz cats ever anticipate what, or where for that matter, the root is?! I can only 'hear' it well enough to tell it isn't nearly as random as it sounds.I just googled "barangrill changes", and up popped all kinds of guitar tabs with the changes written out, and non-root bass notes written under the chord symbols. Other than that, they will have "big ears" from years of practice and experience.

Yeah, that's nice this morning. Made my brain work too. I really gotta' get a better bluetooth speaker in the shop. In Bridget's defense, I don't know what she'd have played on an upright bass that would have served that song any better. The liitle double-stops and occasional strums on the Hofner (?) kinda' fit. She is such an outside-the-box bassist though, I'm guessing she would have played an entirely different passage, and it would have been great...
Went down the rabbit-hole... (it's Coz' fault) Leaving On A Jet Plane, John Denver w/ Mama Cass Elliot, from the pilot episode of Midnight Special.

I had to do some hunting to figure out who played upright bass here... Dick Kniss, played with Peter, Paul, & Mary. Found it on a Guild forum.
I gotta' get back to work in here. ;D
I'm unfamiliar with Sierra Ferrell at this point, but the phrase "caricature of authenticity" is certainly thought provoking.
I started seeing her on show bills with East Nash Grass last year. (or was it the year before now...?) What she is doing is interesting from a couple angles. I'm not sure it's been done from the bluegrass/oldtyme angle at least. She seems to have created an undefined character. The audience never quite knows which Sierra Ferrell will be entertaining them. I think it's meant to be a caricature of authenticity... not exactly my thing, but I get it, and it's very well-done. Here she was with ENG in the Mountain Fever (record label) hospitality suite at IBMA last year;
I cut my teeth on Blue-Eyed Soul and what R&B was in my day, NOT what it is now.
I just love 80's Bluegrass.

Lang Lang with the Dresden Symphony (help, my German translation skill is nada), Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue'. You will NEVER hear a better performance of this than this performance. IN-spired.

I was listening to the solo project of a friend of mine from wayback last night, (for another tune) and ran across this fast and furious fiddle tune, named for a place in the mountains of Western North Carolina. (not too awful far from Dave...)
The rhythm to this thing is insane. And they did it even faster at live performances.

Cave Dwellers, cool! The bass player Bruce Gordon was the owner of the flight case company I started working at in 1996. He also had a backline rental business. He was one of the main guys at R&R cases starting in the mid 70s before he split off around 1995. He was/is also with the New Colony Six. There's also an appearance by Ron Onesti who runs the Arcada Theater in St. Charles, IL, and more recently the Des Plaines Theater in... Des Plaines, IL. He's the guy who lets them into the room, then applauding at the end.
John Hiatt and The Goners…featuring Sonny Landreth :o
Well, R&R USED to make the best flight cases, but MT took it a step further. Plus, we will build it the way YOU want, not the way THEY want to make it. 8) (I hear complaints about that a lot). Bruce started a company called AdvantEdge after R&R, which is where I started in '96. In September of '97, the company was bought by a couple of guys from On Stage Audio and became MT Case Co. They've now grown into a massive audio/video/lighting company as OSA International, with locations in Chicago, Vegas, and Nashville.
John Hiatt and The Goners…featuring Sonny Landreth :o
Man, the Goners were a seriously kick-ass band! Thanks for this one.
And it brings to mind a coffee table book my sons gave me. It's somewhere in the attic, so I can't check these first 2 names, but it's titled Nashville Portraits; a collection of music-biz pix by an apparently famous photog from there. In the caption of a publicity shot for a joint tour by 4 of my all-time favorites, he quotes someone else whose name it seems we're supposed to know, speaking thusly"
"If there were a just God overseeing the world of country music, Lyle Lovett, Joe Ely, John Hiatt, and Guy Clark would be selling out concert halls and arenas, and Toby Keith would be selling used stereos out the back of his pick-up truck".

Haven't listened to any of this in a while.That looks more or less the same band I saw on tour here in the early 2000s. First time I'd seen Joe Zawinul and was absolutely blown away by the whole experience. Thankfully I got to meet them all after the gig too. The bass player was astoundingly good and Sabine Kabongo has an incredible voice. Thanks for posting.

I think Nancy composed both of these. I need to check the liner notes. I'm fairly sure it's her playing mandolin on the second one, but she and Norman play so much alike on guitar and mandolin that it's often hard to tell.We're in luck! The liner credits are on their Wiki page.

I have his Bremen / Lausanne concerts, which was recorded around the same time, performed in the same completely improvised style, and is equally amazing.
Hands down, my favorite jazz pianist. Although the Lausanne-Bremen and Koln concerts are amazing, people should also check out the Sun Bear Concerts and trio and quartet work Jarrett has done with Jan Garbarek, Dave Holland, Jack DeJonette, Gary Peacock, etc. Amazing output over the years despite experiencing chronic fatigue syndrome and such a shame that the strokes he had put and end to his musical career.

I discovered in the comments last night that he showed up at the venue in Köln and found, in place of the high-end piano his contract called for, a crappy one, out of tune and with a broken pedal. He almost cancelled. They got it tuned, but he stayed on the middle keys the whole time because the high & low registers were so fecal sounding.
Makes it even more amazing, I think.

What I think is the finest "Fire On The Mountain" I've ever heard - with the freakiest visuals yet from YT's Jam Band Videos channel (though perhaps a bit much right now for those in SoCal.....)Agreed, feels more groovy than the "one" I have heard before. :-)

Just because they came up in band practice the other day... Crooked Still played a few larger venues together last year.Hi Greg, forgive my ignorance but would this be classed as Bluegrass?

We went to see Louden Wainright III last week and quite a lot of the music the band were playing sounded like it was this style. So made me wonder if he was a bluegrass or folk or a fusion of both. What do you think?
The standard of musicianship was incredible!!!
I remember sitting on the floor in front of the stereo listening to, experiencing, The End.

Good times. I wasn't there in '88, I was in '89. *1990. ::) I've had some good ones since then too, but those were the formative years for me and those guys were gods of strings. This was right after Béla's "Drive" album came out, and a major course change for me musically speaking...
I'll post the Drive Playlist, it's this group, but with Mark Schatz on bass, and Stuart Duncan joining Mark O'Connor on fiddle. It's one of those records I just play all the way through... no hitting the next track.

The next track from Alison Krauss & Union Station is out..."Granite Mills" stays firmly in the vein of her penchant for dark ballads... and this one's really dark, albeit historically rooted. We finally get to hear Russell Moore on lead vocal here, and some spooky modal fiddle, backed with possibly an octave mandolin... or is that a high-strung guitar as the primary rhythm instrument? I ain't sure.

The extra banjo player is Tony Trishka.
The mystery dobro player is Sierra's husband, Justin Moses. He's a mult-instrumentalist, plays every instrument up there quite competently, so Bèla has him jump around some on the shows he's been part of.
The other guitarist is Bryan Sutton. Probably the most sought-after studio guy for acoustic guitar tracks in Nashville these days. If Billy puts butts in seats, Bryan is the first-call guy for the records. A-lister... Hot Rize. Etc.
Been binge watching this band recently. Up to 5 hours between Friday night and the one i'm watching now. Really good players. Loving the bass playing and the tone he uses.
I was curious of course, so I looked. They got the name from a tow truck company in Western North Carolina... our family name is quite commonplace out there, and virtually unheard-of here. Particularly that spelling, which is usually how we know how directly related someone may be. See, you have to imagine one of our British friends here pronounce 'Huncote'... that's what it sounds like phonetically if you're from there, just say it quicker than we do here. Hun-uh-kut. Doesn't quite roll off the tongue if you're naming a band though. :)
My cousin Andy Ferrell is also from Asheville, N.C. played a set for that same program a while back. I bet he knows those folks. I'll have to ask him.

The bass player here is a buddy of mine, Dylan Locke. Dylan is part-owner of the store there. The funniest part of that is how we met... I got a call one day from a guy on the way to a gig, he got my number from a local recording studio, and desperately needed his soundpost set. Got that... on the way to the gig? Okay, well I've done housecalls on basses, so I grabbed a couple tools... mirror, light, setter, retriever, string winder, and headed to meet Dylan at a Park & Ride. I set the soundpost in that bass there on the side of I-81. We still joke about it.

I'm always curious about how things work... and I'm usually surprised by how often something posted here is something that has also shown up in my YouTube channel feed. The same "Brothers" video Dave posted was up at several points yesterday when I was watching/listening to other things, and I finally watched it here. 😊
I happened to catch this live post of Sierra Hull's new tune too late last night to take it in. Saved for this morning.
She has a very interesting take on guitar, accompanying herself. I've heard her flatpick many times, but this is a hybrid flatpick/fingerstyle... she's pulling several notes at once for effect here. I've been trying to do something like this for a while. You just have to feel that timing.

Just because.
FOH for a band I was stage man & monitors for had a collection of 3-song break tapes; one was "Gaucho", "Hey, 19" & "Time Out Of Mind". 45 years later, any one of those comes on & I'm tuning for the 1st set on a Friday at Oscar's in Bloomington, IN.
We played Oscar's every 6 weeks - it was a great room, with great crowds, and we always kicked ass there; it was a Thus-Sat gig, so any problems were dealt with the night before, and they'd let us load out Sun PM, so 2 easy nights; my then-GF was working a Master's in harpsichord performance at IU, and lived 2 blocks away, so unlike most other gig nights I was clean, well-fed, and both recently- and soon-to-be-lai.....er, I was happy.
This puts me in a good place; thanks, Joey!

One of those songs that I'd forgotten about for a (too) long time, The Little River Band, 'It's a Long Way There'.
I was always a big fan. I've always wanted someone to clue me in as to why Australians are particularly so harmony-deep, these guys, the Brothers Gibb, etc. This was cut in the late 70's, and I ran across one of those YouTube videos with much younger folks just discovering what we all grew up on. This particular one was a fledgling producer in South Florida hearing this for the first time. Of course, it's a long production, lots of twists and turns, big string parts, and the vocals are stellar.
So about two-thirds of the way through it, he pauses the playback, looks at the camera, and begins talking in utter amazement that this was cut before digital, before vocal tuning, before quantizing, only punch-ins, and is DUMBSTRUCK that people had to play in time and play and sing in tune ALL ON THEIR OWN.
Amazing. I laughed out loud at this but then . . . . it hasn't dawned on him that you still could.
So……surfing around over at the Classico thread…..could this be George’s Classico before the piezo modification? And…..could this be the first Classico?

Metallica played practically next door to us last night, and packed Lane Stadium at Virginia Tech. For those who don't know about it, the Hokies have used "Enter Sandman" for getting fans and the team pumped up for games since 2000, so it was a pretty big deal that the band added Blacksburg to the tour. To stay on par with Fleetwood Mac and USC I guess, Hokies head coach Brent Pry presented each member of member of Metallica with a team jersey. ...and of course they finished out the night with-
*Reportedly, seismic equipment in the area registered the event.
Took my son to Ozzfest years ago at Alpine Valley (outdoor venue). Pantera got on stage and you could feel it in your feet and legs.😳
That tune always gives me a good chuckle. 😄

Very good. Great solo by Bobby Cochran. I also dig that suped up Ibanez. I can't tell if Alphonso's bass is Ibanez as well.
Sonic Smorgasbord :D
Bobby & The Midnites, 1983! (I saw them that year on Long Island with Hot Tuna :))
Featuring Billy Cobham and Alphonso Johnson 8)

“Cowboy Fancy” was an Ibanez custom designed for Bobby. It was meant to be somewhere between an ES335 and an Ibanez Artist. Weir also spent a lot of time on the Ibanez 2681 with the “Tree of Life” inlay on the neck.
Bill, tgo
Alison sounds great.
I've been following the current tour with Alison Krauss & Union Station with particular interest. Since opening night, I've heard the show get tighter each time. Alison sounds great.
Russell Moore is settling into the job quite comfortably.
Just got a notification from East Nash Grass... the first track from their new record just posted. I really like this one... have since I first heard it. Maddie tells me the full album will be up and out by Summer's end. I expect they will get some airplay from this one meantime.
Tears of a Clown truly is a great song…. Says the guy who started his musical career playing bassoon in the 6th grade.One of my favorites.

In 1970 (before he became Jimmy J's sideman......) This young man did a 42-minute show for BBC. He has released a song from that performance here and there, but he just released the whole shebang:Proof that he doesn’t actually need any of us, we’re just playing along.

Still following the current Vince Gill tour. He was playing a Les Paul Goldtop the other night... hard to say what the provenance is on this one. He's got a couple famous ones.
*Wendy Moten and Jeff White on the harmony singin' here. Killer band, all around.

A good friend from my youth had an uncle who was a serious studio cat (3rd call drummer for The Tonight Show, after Louie Belson & Ed O'Shaunessy level serious), and he got my bud a bootleg tape of the original sessions with Van Dyke Parks; man, what I wouldn't give to find that version of "Surf's Up" again......

I ran across this RTF video from their shows in 2008. This stuff is WAY over my head, but inspiring and breathtaking in the level of musicianship in these guys, and yet it's still so very musical. Although I'm convinced Mr. Clarke could wind his watch with the fingers of the same hand !
Passing it on; miss you, Cros! ...

The guitar player on the end, his lead breaks were great; capturing the emotion of the song, paying tribute to Neil, and adding his own voice.

The exquisite Ms. Morgan James, on a slight tangent from what I'm used to from her:Not heard of her before. This track has a vintage Motown (Tears of a clown) vibe to it.

Something to watch for on the Tiny Desk series... she didn't say when it would air.

The connection you see between them... that's pretty special there.
One nation under a groove.
Dr. Molly Miller, sans her customary bass, drums, and dancing (but still quite tasty):

I was at the gig in my home city of Birmingham England on that 1978 tour.
One nation under a groove.
Loved it! A nice celebration of Detroit. We had the original by Funkadelic when it came out in '78.

*(as fine a six-string-slinger as he is, Brian would've been a little bit outta' his wheelhouse in this particular jam... he is otherwise associated/affiliated with all them folks though)
Dunno where that brain fart came from; thanks for the catch. I'm sure I was thinking Stuart when I typed Brian.......

I'd never heard of these guys. I was dumbstruck. I always come back to this music, and when they launched into a letter perfect 'I Am the Walrus', well, somebody spoke and I went into a dream.

Sco, Marcus and Louis Cato,
I didn't realize the 2 note riff that sounds like a guitar was played on the bass.
The Princess of Funk. (Juna reminds me of Marcus]
The Jumper Cables:Intense. Thank you.
