Such a true song. I believe that we do owe reparations. But how much would be right? A cool million sounds proper. Talk about "Nevah hoppen GI."

He's using the "E" string as a rest for his thumb much of the time. When he plays on the "E" string he brings his thumb back to it quickly to mute the string. Never thought about it before, but I imagine many players rest their thumb on the "E" string, as doing so gives you a better angle of...

Rocco Prestia A Short Little Video A great, great bass hero of mine. Hope you enjoy his playing too.

Tower Of Power The Skunk, The Goose, And The Fly Please listen to the bass. Finger Style Funk is a bear to play, Francis Rocco Prestia was a master of it. He passed a couple of years ago. I sincerely doubt we'll ever hear anyone as great again.

Maybe the real horror is that up to date music can.... what's the word? SUCK. Ever since artists discovered that Autotune can fix their clams---thus encouraging embellishing hops up and down the chromatic scale for no good reason (imho) except to isspay me offpay... You're right this is an...

Wrong again. But that's unpossible!

What Makes This Song Great Ep28 "Lets Dance" David Bowie Like this song a lot. Loved the original video, too. GF liked it a lot, too. 38 years ago? Tain't right, I tells ya.

Thanks for posting this.I remember the original release, those guitar "stabs" by Steve Cropper made all the difference in the world. And Donald "Duck" Dunn's bass playing obviated the need for Mr Washington to have to use bass pedals.

Plus a mature theme at the end where Bruce decides that discretion is the better part of valor, in the video. Come to think on it, the stock video didn't do the song justice, imho.

The Leslie rotating speaker wasn't a necessary adjunct to the B3. However did they sound great? Ucking fay tweetie. It was fascinating to watch them, too. I don't know whether my pal's had part of its cabinet missing or if you can see them rotate from certain angles. It has been 45 years and we...

I agree. Oh to be far more talented so that I could have been a musician from a young age. Half a moment...I had some talent. I was handed a clarinet and sent alone to a small room to "learn" the instrument. This was in that bastion of true horror, the Catholic boarding school in Massachusetts...

Perhaps part of the beauty of this GREAT song is its at least seeming simplicity? The perfection of using which voice for its part in the composition is SUPERB. Thank you for posting it, one more time is a fantastic thing for an amazing song! I loved 'em upon first hearing them, but that's not...

I don't know for certain but it looks like an original B3 will set you back $20,000. Hammond built and continues to build keyboards. Ttbmk the modern ones do not sound as cool as the original did.

The Spinners Rubber Band Man Come to think of it there was a horn section in that housemate's band. But it wasn't a huge outfit.

Long ago and far away ('75 or '76) one of my housemates "drove" a Hammond B3. He played one very well, too. I guess the "drove" bit came from helping him move that organ in and out of his van. He'd built a practice space in the basement of the house with lots of moving blankets to help muffle...
