Another one, same show I think, with a little better look at Marmaduke's Alembic-

Sierra Hull and Wyatt Ellis (one of her former students...) on a Bill Monroe classic... octave mandolin/mandolin duo.

From the Prince's Trust Night in 1989, Mark King and Level 42, 'Lessons in Love'.  What a huge groove, and I love the chord voicings and changes.  I can play this with a pick (while being reminded I should have paid more attention to those pesky arpeggio exercises . . . ), but I'm USELESS at thumb slapping.

[sonicus]

I went to see Mark King perform in Level 42 on two occasions . At one that I attended  they opened for Tina Turner.
Such great shows ! I am not good at thumb slapping either however I do have a technique up my sleeve inclusive of my thumb and three fingers whilst muting with my palm. I love Mark King's clean slap style .

Before hearing Donny Hathaway Live - Everything Is Everything.

This was my introduction to Willie Weeks.

You know, maybe if I wrapped electric tape around that thumb . . . .

Thanks for the George Harrison!

G.E. Smith, Larry Campbell, and Jim Weider:

Yes, I know they have a band name, but that phrase is not one I think should be applied to any aggregation (no matter how great - and these guys are) that doesn't include Bill Kirchen, Red Volkaert, Danny Gatton, and/or Roy Buchanan........)

Who played bass on this? Great tone:

[cozmik_cowboy]

A quick Google points to a guy named Brian Sampson - but the link that person put up to support the argument is dead.

Peter (who never noticed the bass part because the song was so bad - and won't check it out now for the same reason)

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.      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. 

Don't tell anybody ok?

…ahem….Just went to the link.  Well….just had flashback to the early 70’s….my dad was a truck driver and was consumed by CB radio and that tune!….there was another one….Wolf Creek Pass….my dad drove for a meat packing company (Hygrade - Ball Park Franks) so his “handle” was Butcher Boy.  One particular memory was coming in to the kitchen to find him with a putty knife trying to get his CB off the kitchen table….a new wonder glue had just come on the market….Crazy Glue!  Mom had to buy table cloths after that…. Crazy Glue “don’t give up that easily!”  Dad also didn’t know about finger nail polish remover.   Thank you JJ for your admission of guilt!

OK, I have an admission to make ... I actually played on the original release ... Don't tell anybody ok?

 

Your secret is safe with me.
