Thanks, Jules! I loves me some Jimmy Lea! That could have gone on for another couple of minutes and I'd been happy.

I've seen the first one before. Really nice (I think I PM:d Scott about it).

The second one was nice too.  ;D

 I am so lucky to have this bass, a number of old guard Slade fans over in the UK helped make it happen, one in particular my buddy Stu R. The bass is signed by Jimmy himself !

But he's not just nimble with his fingers. He has a nice voice, writes good music and lyrics, writes and plays (!) string arrangements (he played violin before he played bass or guitar) and his 2007 solo album (only available via his website) is great. Loads of good tunes and thoughtful lyrics with the old Slade beatlish influences always lurking around the corner.

PS: When do you finally interview your fellow Brit, Jules?

I'd like to interview him, but he's made it clear he has no email, and only has a website because his record label told him he had to have one. I get the impression he'd rather lead as quiet a life as possible. The only way I can see to get in touch is to write a letter to his record company... which I have been considering actually. Maybe a good candidate for this year.....

Sue him for failing to have an email, and get your interview when you bring him in for a deposition.

 Jim does seem to want to live as quite a life as possible, I'm still amazed that he surfaced and put his bass up as a pattern for mine and signed it, all in front of a camera !

I have to include him as an influence on me, ever since I saw them on ABC's "In Concert" back in '72. I went straight out and got the "Slayed?" LP. His playing on the live version of "Get Down & Get With It" always brings a big grin to my face.
