Damn Alison Krauss; make me tear up over a beautiful song...I'm a pawnbroker by day, my armour is supposed to be thicker...I was listening to Meat Puppets Rat Farm again; they are really becoming my desert island band...

Sweeeeeeeet!
 

Great stuff Pete! I have the Family Dinner DVD, the whole thing is awesome! This is my favorite song on the DVD,
 

 
I'm flying to LA to see Snarky Puppy with my son on the 24th!

Rusty,
 And the Bassist is the Boss.  
 
Pete

Pete, I turned my son on to Snarky Puppy, & he got to see them last year before I have even gotten to see them! I sent him my Bass Player magazine with Michael League on the cover & he took it to the concert & met Michael & got him to sign it for me!  

 

Ahhh it's good to be young!  
Thanks really cool Rusty, looks like you have a great trip in store.
Peace  
Pete

I'm just so glad both of my sons have great taste in music & don't listen to the garbage that passes for music these days.

Snarky puppy gets my ass going every morning with pot of Dennis coffee.

Zeppelin.  Lots of Zeppelin.  
 
Page's production and playing, JPJ's immaculate lines (40 years later, I STILL keep finding gems in his bass parts, like the double stops under the chorus of 'When the Levee Breaks'), Bonham's massive drumming, and Percy's vocals.  And the range they covered, for me, was always eye-opening.  Plus, it's just my favorite s**t to play REALLY, REALLY, LOUD.
 
Joey

Joey , YES !   JPJ's immaculate lines ,  
On Zeppelin's first two albums I can find find many fine such examples that left a mark on  My own Playing Chops along with other great Bass players . JPJ  is most definitely on my list of early influences ! I am sure he MUST be on many lists of bass players influences . How could he not be .  Joey , I am glad that you mentioned him .

I saw Snarky puppy on their first UK tour and they were incredible.

Jazzyvee, I'll be seeing them in 3 weeks, I can't wait!

Luella and the Sun; thank you, I will look for this they are SO cool; such groove and on some really crappy instruments too...I know they're part of the sound but I can't stand playing most of those toys...Yamaha got it right at that time though and I have three of their electrics and they are awesome...Tony.
 
was listening to the latest 'the Sword' and the latest from Ghost...

Saw the Melvins on saturday; bloody awesome as always...they are truly one of the great American bands in their own weird way, but may never be recognized as such; like the Ass Ponys, who never got the level of fame they deserved...
