Steve? [/quote] HaHaHa!.......Sorry, once I wrote one name down, I felt I had to include everyone!....Meaning that Rolf Harris was a lovely, generous geezer who walked in and had a laugh with the band making for an easy and productive session and Natalie Cole wasn't!....So whether you think that Rolf is more of a legend than Natalie doesn't really matter in the end......They're all part of me being a pro muso for 35+ years and I tried to play my best for all of them!......(harder to do for some than others).......Bass is best!....Steve.

Hi everyone, I've caught up with Basschat a bit late!.......It was, indeed, me on the Saturday Night Fever TV show...A 1976 Fiesta red Precision and a really cheap, plastic little Chinese-made Behringer bass phaser pedal made the bass sound on 'You should be Dancin'....It's really noisy but I love its grunginess...In fact I bought two in case one broke!.....Steve Pearce.
