I believe it was in 1974 that I saw Tom Waits open for Marty Mull and His Fabulous Furniture at The Troubadour in L.A.   Halfway through his set, Waits reached inside his sport coat, pulled out an open beer, took a swig, then turned to the audience and said in his gravelly Waits voice, "came with the coat".    During his set, Mull pulled out a vibrator and started playing slide guitar with it.  Then he turned it on, went into "Purple Haze", and exclaimed "so that's how Hendrix did it"!

Todd Parks is a Monster Bassist. 

Happy Birthday Roni!

Not the "Fire On The Mountain" you were thinking of.





Well, probably not... the point is the same though.

44 years ago today. I know at least a couple of you guys were there. Phil's opening lines on Scarlet Begonias always make me laugh... it's the funniest bass part ever.

Sounds like he trying to emulate a talking drum!

A little bit, yes. 


Just to be clear, my comment was not a criticism. What I mean though, if you just heard that bass part out of context, you'd have a harder time understanding the genius behind it. I must have tried those crazy slides a thousand times. Never works out like I hope.
