I was just casually listening to "Listen to the Music" - Doobie Bros, and zero'ed in on the bass line for the first time ever. It's quite good, very rhymic, and adds so much to the song, IMHO. I can't figure out who played on it. I found a site that says "Skylark" played bass, but I can't tell if this is maybe Tiran Porter's nickname?

They only hired Skylark IIRC in the late 80s or early 90s.

Did Tiran Porter use a pick? It sounds like it but I don't know.
