Dunno which was funnier, Lee's joy at getting another flip off picture or Wanda's look  when I said we had to go flip off a bass legend.

Bill | Oh hell yeah! he's still around! Don't feel bad for not knowing though. He is the quintessential bassist,always there, rarely out front and noticed, but making history nonetheless. |
