The Last Bass Outpost

The scenery is much better in my home office:

Nice collection of basses, Joe! Wow

My office is in my studio too. I'm breaking into network marketing.
Just got 1,000 business cards printed up. Hopin' to make BIG money this year.
A lady in Oz just made $108,000 in one month- January- & she's only been with the company 8 months!!!!!!!!
One of my mentors drives a Maserati. I want a Hummer!

If I could sing like anyone, it would be James Dewar:

It was great to see Robin Trower recently but James Dewar was greatly missed.

Jack Bruce just did another album with Trower called 7 Moons.
Clips I listened to at amazon sound really goood!!

HAR HAR HAR

Funnneeeeeee

Time is Tight!

   

Aha~ You notice the rhythm section of Creedence watchin' from the wings?
Gotta love youtube.

Let's do a thread about songs with a good PUMPIN' BASS.
Creedence Clearwater Revival's TRAVELIN' BAND for example.
One o' my favs.

Bad Co. ~ Movin' On is KILLER too!!

These songs are very similar, huh? All about bein' in a touring band!!

They fuel my dreams.

What other songs get your bass & your blood pumpin'??

Best vid of Mr. Big~ My all-time favorite bass performance:



Andy Fraser plays it even better on the album Fire & Water.

Right. Coulda been drug & alcohol related or just "natural causes"--from lugging that  BIG natural around. hahaa

Just bought The Cry of Love on ebay. I've got all the songs on it on other compilations, but it'll be cool to hear those songs in the order I first heard 'em.
Drifting & Straight Ahead are my 2 fav Hendrix songs!!

Just listened to Electric Ladyland thinking of Buddy. Rainy Day, Dream Away is him on drums, playin' his famous shuffle.
Now I'm puttin' on Band o' Gypsys....

Sad news. Buddy & Billy were touring last I heard with various axmen playin' Hendrix songs. Now Billy is the last survivor of the Band of Gypsys.

I got into Electric Flag a little late...after seeing The Buddy Miles Express headline at the Forum in L.A., I bought Long Time Comin'. Might have to look for that on cd--Mike Bloomfield in his prime & Buddy singin' a song or 3...."Overlovin' You" comes to mind.
The highlight of Buddy's Forum show was of course Them Changes....but it was too soon after Jimi's death & it was PAINFUL to not see Jimi playin' guitar. Still...Buddy looked coool--a HUGE man with a HUGE afro!

Unfortunately his HUGEness led to congestive heart failure. He was only 60.

Buddy was featured on Electric Ladyland some but it's mostly Mitch on drums. Billy got a photo or 2 among the little ones inside the double album cover.
Buddy's also featured on some of the tracks on Cry of Love--he shines on Ezy Ryder--& many jam session bits an' pieces that have been released over the years.
Jimi & Buddy were good friends....I guess they're jammin' somewhere again now!!
