Had not heard of her, thanks!  Hearing some Marcus Miller influence.

Jazzyvee asked on the McVie Artist Showcase Thread yesterday about other tunes John might have played fretless on that wasn't the 'continuously fretted' Alembic... I really had to think about it. Since I'm more familiar with the eponymous White Album than the earlier ones, (and I'll listen through Bare Trees and Kiln House today) the one I have always thought sounded fretless is "Over My Head". Since it's from 1975, this recording pre-dates the stainless steel fingerboard Alembic. Could be just carefully/skillfully played on a fretted bass with flats, because Mac's a genius. Listen carefully for slides on the bridge part-

*I know for sure in later years, he played fretless on this one in live performances. The Dance for one.

Also possibly on a fretless bass... listen carefully to the chorus.

This is another case where I know for sure in later years John played fretless on Say You Love Me in live performances... so the parts existed in his mind without speedbumps. Still, I think it could, and indeed was played many times on fretted instruments.

Tony Levin posted this to his FB page today. It’s a parody on Progressive Rock by a long time attendee of his annual summer camps.

I got a good chuckle out of that! God bless prog rock girls! They are more abundant than rumor would have it.

Far more abundant than metal girls, for example.
