Salutations™!!

I’ve never been a huge fan of Bruce Springsteen but I’ve always admired his playfulness and the dedication to his craft. He takes one of my favorite disco-era songs and makes it his own disco-era song. So, here I present:

“Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk I’m a woman’s man: no time to talk. 
Music loud and women warm, I’ve been kicked around since I was born. And now it’s all right, it’s okay, and you may look the other way. We can try to understand the New York Times’ effect on man.” – “Stayin’ Alive” (Gibb/Gibb/Gibb)

“Under the Milky Way” by the Church is one of my new obsessions. I love that song and I look for a lot of recreations. Since I’ve spent a lot of time with Clay Howard this week (and will again tonight), and one of the first conversations he and I ever had was about doing a Rick Springfield tribute band, and this is a pretty good cover, then here ya go. Enjoy (and come to Test Pattern tonight)!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

I’ve been a musician since I was 14, a long time ago. I’m known as a bass player but I have to say that my favorite instruments to play and watch being played are the drums. It takes the whole body and exceptional timing to play them correctly. I am not very good at it. I have an electronic kit and I haven’t played them in a long time but I should get back to it. To work on my chops and it’s great exercise.

There are huge debates about who the best drummer is. From all styles, you’re likely to get about 12 different answers each. But, I think that almost anyone can agree that the best that has ever lived, as well as inspired most of the modern drummers we know today, either directly or indirectly, is Buddy Rich. He was amazing. So, for today, I’m offering a glimpse into his playing. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
