I could never do a decent groovy and smooth C&W two-step bass - the kind of thing Randy Meisner does so well on Lyin' Eyes for example. I just never played that type of music often and long enough for it to become second nature to me. Whenever I attempt it, people think I'm taking the piss and then ask: "Ok Uwe, that's very funny, but what are you really going to play?"
I like the Leps but their version of the David Essex classic was a bit tame and curiously lifeless (always something the Leps have to watch to avoid).
