Motown will teach you how to be a better player. Fewer notes, all dropped in exactly the right place.

Play the pocket. It's almost like meditation.

LMAO I thought that it said Milton Berle. . . need coffee.

You'll have to go here to find Milton Berle.

Yes, that song does capture our zeitgeist to a tee.  I have a friend who has just fled to a small island.

Everything is coming to a halt over here.
Concert venues, bars, theaters, coffeeshops, restaurants, schools, everything is closed until april 6.

But already lots of online perfomances are being streamed and /or shared.
Like this one from TheWolff and their support The Grand East

I'm not seeing much on live streaming in the U.S. except for the Dropkick Murphys on St. Patrick's Day.

Apparently, the deplorable global public health circumstances have made me realize that I need to do better than the just one or two Kool & The Gang Greatest Hits compilations I so far had - I've bought their full back catalog as far as it features their chocolate-vanilla crooner J.T. Taylor, all eight albums or so. The disco virus has infected me rather belatedly! (My wife: "This is so incredibly cheesy!") But even back in the day, Taylor's smooth voice and Robert "Kool" Bell's catchy bass lines attracted me.

Saturday afternoon on American Bandstand with the Gap Band.  One of my favorite songs.  I've heard this song is sometimes played at sporting events.  But I rarely pay attention to any sports and don't think of it in that context.

Loved Revere and the Raiders!  Kicks, The Great Airplane Strike,  Steppin' Out, Louie Louie, Just Like Me, Kicks, Hungry, and I even liked the Legend of Paul Revere which described him as working in a burger joint in Idaho.

I saw him live in Lake Tahoe, and he was playing the same Mustang-front keyboard that night. That guy's music really stomped!

I think you have to be around our age to appreciate how big they were in the 60s, and they were all over TV. They always put on a show, outfits, choreographed moves and all.

Original lineup on Hollywood Palace, The Great Airplane Strike, introduced by Ray Bolger(!)

Fang had some excellent bass lines.



Who can forget the time they performed at a campaign rally for the Penguin.  ;D

I have always thought the bass line from The Great Airplane Strike was one of the best in that era.  it really captures your ears. 

That has to be a Hofner that he's playing, isn't it?
