Since none of the people I play with can get motivated and mix and master the last two studio dates, I'm reduced to culling music from old recordings. But Jon and Bruce sound nice on it, it's an original tune of Bruce Huron's called MERCADO.... www.myspace.com/edfuquabassist

Damn, Ed....
The time feel, especially on "My Heart Stood Still", is just magical. That ****** just cooks its ass off. Where you put the quarter notes is so burning.
Jon and Eric? (whoever.... is right up there with youu). sound beautiful.
If you could sell that kinda time feel YOU get though, you'd be a rich Mother.

I don't know what I was thinking in the first 4 bars of WALTZ FOR JIM, prolly "Oh ****, where everybody at?"

I miss it and am glad to feel it again. I makes me very happy.
And don't go sayin'..."It don't take much to make you happy".

Re: Zig...stuff. Probably not. that would be for selling. It's not mixed and it's incomplete. you know the story.  The good news is I could probably venture a session with ed & zig soon to see if neck/arm can handle |

Strange how guys who can play this great together have to communicate on a bass forum. 
So, Jon....what's up with the neck/arm? Are you OK?
My buddy Art Lande just went through a couple years of back related issues and had to lay low at times.

Lemee see if I got this right.
In this thread so far, it's you, me, Jon and Shiraz.....one look at his Profile and I'd guess he's out buying more equipment.
That leaves ME as a kind of witness to this so-called...."commitment".
It don't look too damn good at this point.

My arm is in much better shape than it was. No tingling or pain. My technique has been the same -- laying low/ not do much (how much different is that than I usually do?  My neck tension/knots are sort an issue so I will have to slowly reintegrate myself doing short sessions or gigs to see how I hold up, paying special attention to any undue tension. |

So far doing nothing has been the best treatment  I think I read something like if you had several years of doing absolutely nothing the disc would heal itself. Most of us don't have that luxury. |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
