We don't need no bloody guitars.
Just two Bongo(!) basses



That was cool. Not really something I'd listen to often, but 5 minutes worth is good.

FOR OUR DUTCH SUBSCRIBERS:

In jest, I had written some posts ago re this:

I always wondered how Dream Theater without John Petrucci would sound.

Now I know. The improvement is negligible.

Danke. 
:mrgreen:

That was meant to be sarcastic, I sometimes attempt to be.


Your two young Bongoists (who both play and groove like John Myung, it is terrible what the wrong role models can do to our youth) sound like a Dream Theater backing track to me - with John Petrucci's part not yet recorded.

(The guitarist in the gif is John Petrucci. He plays with Dream Theater. That band is very popular with young boys who don't have sex yet. Or older boys living with their mother who somehow missed the train to have sex long ago.)

But it's skillfully done. So was the V2 program, yet nothing good came of it, the moon landing, which didn't take place, excepted of course.

Someone in that overrated 70ies outfit (whose name I have conveniently forgotten) had real talent, classy Brit songwriting between Ian Hunter and Nick Lowe:
....

Just for you, since you've forgotten the name of that outfit.

The Dream Theater comparison went over my head like a Concorde.  :mrgreen:
I don't know Dream Theater all that well. I just never listened to them longer than half a song.

The two Bongoists were pointed out to me by a colleague.
I'd never buy any of their records either. But I am impressed by their skills.
Since this is a bass forum, I thought I'd share.
Thats' all Uwe.  ;)

Thank you Uwe that was just what I needed
 Ive always felt that "Happy"  was the sonic equivalent to sand under your eyelid, but that version redeemed the song and cheered me up when I was feeling sad

Burt Bacharach supposedly didn't like Arthur Lee's interpretation. I thought it really wasn't that different from the original, which he wrote for the soundtrack of What's New Pussycat.


My favorite version, best played LOUD:

Yes. Zip Caplan is still active with the Surf Dawgs here.

Cool. I saw them live in Aurora Illinois before I bought the album. Really liked them but didn't know until today that they had a second album.
edit: On further reading Emerge was their third album.

I don't think their first two albums were distributed nationally. They were popular locally.

Thanks for that one, Dave. Another bluesman I hadn't heard of, and a very nice recording for its age.
