I'm always going to be a Dave Hope fan.
Here is an updated Immanuel Anglican Church link for Dave.
As I said in my previous post in this thread, I've been a fan of his since the old Kansas days in the 1970's. Wow. Just an amazing, aggressive, melodic, bass style. This stuff will live on forever. |

These days I like that style a lot better than the typical "groove monster" bass style.

Would love to hear some tidbits from back then!

Kansas was huge among musicians back in the 70's, and current bassists need to check in and hear the Kansas classic recordings. The "Song for America" album needs to be downloaded and studied. Kansas had really hit their stride already.
As a bass teacher, that album is one I recommend for young players to play along with.
