Immediate Family webinar

I tuned in for the Immediate Family webinar this afternoon on Zoom compliments of the bass department at Berklee. Good stuff... Steve Bailey moderated... decent chatter and history about the band, but Danny Kortchmar Waddy Wachtel stole the show with their superb advice for musicians... just awesome. Victor Wooten and John Patitucci had some great comments as well.

A little too much time was spent plugging Lee Sklar's finger book, t-shirts and other stuff he's peddling. Sklar seemed a little pre-occupied with phone calls and e-mails... but the main reason of why everyone pulled together was solid.

 

He's directing the documentary on The Immediate Family.

Previously, he directed the one on The Wrecking Crew.

 

My respect for Kooch and Waddy went up big time today. Those guys have the best attitude on music and life.

 

A few minutes ago, I received the follow-up e-mail that was sent to attendees which stated an edited copy of yesterday's webinar will eventually be made available on the Facebook page for the Berklee bass department.

I'm not on Facebook (and don't plan to ever go there)... but for those who do and are interested, I encourage you to search for a video from the Rocco Prestia tribute the Berklee bass department put together a few months ago. There was a huge turnout for that one... lots of familiar names and faces... everyone chimed in... conversation was really fun.
