A Tuesday freebie…
I played bass in a band in college that covered a lot of this stuff (I was 20 years younger and 100% more white than the rest of the dudes in the group!). Definitely where i got my taste for funky cowbell and pocket riding bass-lines.
One of my favorite memories from that time is during a set break Norm (the blind keyboard player) and I stepped out for a “smoke”. He asked me to drive around so we weren’t close to the building. I was in a sketchy part of Topeka Ks (think Littlerock Arkansas circa 1994) so seeing as my passenger was blind and our heads werent totally right, i just drove back and forth up and down the same 3 blocks 5 or 6 times. Norm was like “we’ve been driving for a minute we should head back”….
This song reminds me of those times.
