It's what I'm not listening to right now!  Missed Bob Weir playing Dark Star with Ron Carter, that must have been a treat!

The YT bots graced me with this Jerry Reed classic the other night, and this bass part caused me fits...



Somebody said; Steve Bryant jack-stomped it. Yep, that's how I'd call it! 

Love when a live bass part takes off!   He was stretching his fingers a bit .  😃

Drab Majesty's "Modern Mirror" is playing on the iPad while I am at work today.

Mr Bojangles by John Holt. one of the tracks i'm learning for a dep guitar gig with a friend's reggae band.

While we're on the theme, here's another out-of-left-field tune given the Reggae treatment:




And here 's my all time favorite version of Mr. Bojangles, especially starting at about the 2:40 mark  where Bromberg tells about touring with Jerry Jeff Walker and the true story behind the song.

I love that version, too, Bill.

I saw JJW do it once, and he said that he didn't understand why so many people assumed "Mr. Bojangles" was Black; he said something like "This was New Orleans in the early '60s; they'd be happy to arrest you and beat you up - but they wouldn't put you in a cell with a Black man".

That's a great version. I've never heard it before.

Awakening on this, the morning on my 67th birthday, I perceived a brief glimpse this song floating around the edges of my consciousness.   

Bill, tgo (who wonders "how the f*** did I get to be 67!!!!")

Happy Birthday, Bill. They just keep adding up, I hear. Somebody ought to work on that.
