Thanks! I'm working toward more colours in my bass collection
What's that crazy keyboard about 15 seconds in?
Once again our audio engineer found a way to stop recording some of the tracks 2/3rds of the way through the song. I thought we were doing OK and would have loved to hear the whole thing. 
So I was at the coffee shop this past Sunday when all of a sudden Dee Murray came to mind-
Came up with some great comping for Elton John back in his Seventies heyday-
So this one isn't so accurate as it is the studio recording with clips of artists- Dee can be seen singing backup vocals on the far right on occaion- but it's him on the studio recording-
And on this one- he plays the closest thing to a human groan of pain and lament in a two note glissando after "The prima donna you really should have been there, perched like a queen in her electric chair" line - pure brilliance-
Sadly, Dee passed away in the early-90's at the age of 45. Hope you found peace bro-

...I didn't get the memoit's Monday, not Wednesday......
Yes! What an awesome player......Nigel Olsson's gotta be the coolest drummer..
Suppose I should have added that Nigel and Elton didn't do so bad themselves!!
I thought it was Tuesday- no wonder the barber shop was closed today!...I didn't get the memo

That was a kind of funky hotel in Capitola, the night before, we went to this restaurant that had this strange little cable car that you had to ride downhill to get to - no fried chicken on the menu - it was SO California

What's a '4 on the floor' pedal do? A boost? And what does a TC spark do differently?

I love places like that, and I'm originally from the bulls-eye center of the US. I also love architecture and I can imagine sitting in that space, how it sounds, how it smells, how it carries sun-light. It reminds me of spaces 'out west' that I visited as a young kid on family vacation in the '60s.
Was the house on the cliff a Frank Lloyd Wright? Oh and I remember the hilarious art auction scene and the scene at the police station. "How much did you drink?" and the priceless response-
