Steve Lawson!!!!

Sir, you are the man! I was going to email you this to tell you, but I saw that you had a forum here so I figured it'd be much easier and less email spam. Came upon all of your tracks yesterday while randomly searching on bandcamp. Excellent work, you've made a fan of me man!!!!

:bassist:
 

Although not directed at me, I will answer: Meeting of the Minds on "Live So Far" is awesome and definitely my favorite of your tracks. Also a big fan of "Kindness of Strangers"...when you bust out into "What a Wonderful World" at the end of that, as corny as this is going to sound, I literally get goosebumps.

Found out about you through the great Julie Slick on Twitter. Glad you are here so more may learn about your playing.

Thanks very much for this - Meeting Of Minds is a pretty special track for me too - Neil Alexander who plays keys on it is an insanely great musician who way more people should know about (for anyone else reading this here's the track in question: A Meeting Of Minds (Steve with Neil Alexander | Steve Lawson and here's where you can hear more of Neil's amazing progtastic fusiony goodness - Neil Alexander ) That shift into 'Wonderful World' was a serendipitous decision that I made on stage once, just to try it out, and it worked so well it's become part of the tune :)

Also nice to know you came here via Julie - she is, as I've been saying a lot recently, one of my favouritest bassists in the world. A massive musical talent. :)

Anyway, the encouragement is very much appreciated

Steve
