There seems to be more and more [Google] Info popping up these days regarding the LA scoring stage Musician from that golden age. Max Bennett is worth checking out, seems he did his bit as well...

That Pilot track is still a fave of mine. This track for me, I was at Music Collage and had to take it down [It got in the way of drinking, and took me ages] And it also hit me that there was more to Disco than four to the floor and Pee souping. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z7dZcaQ80s[/media] Another one for playing/arranging and harmony that I loved. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twICykaRRvY&feature=related[/media] Garry

Hey B5... are you trying to upload " Closer to the Feeling" onto Youtube ? Garry

[quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1341215971' post='1715111'] it's mine and I am happy with it. [/quote] And we have a winner ! Garry

Great stuff, thanks for the link. Garry

On the Conductors head - No reason other than it's fun. But not being speedily mobile, I am usually last in the queue. Hat side if possible [Unless the Drummer is a south paw] Garry

That ain't high for me - more like a low action... Garry

[quote name='Panamonte' timestamp='1340954484' post='1711858'] Stevie Wonder on harmonica - instantly recognisable. [/quote] Yes of course - also on many films from the 60/70/80's Toots Thielemans is always lurking On some Music cue. Garry

Apart from the many Bass players, David Sanborn and Dave Grusin for me, George Benson as well. Grusin for his notes and style, and Sanborn for his sound and old school R&B licks. Garry

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1340885772' post='1710996'] Yes that's probably what it was called, I'm talking about early 1990s, I remember it was out of town on the way up East I think. Used to go & watch big screen sports at weekends with platters of burgers & ice cold beers, it was a hard job I've got some old maps & stuff I'll dig out. Have you been there? [/quote] If it is the same place [and it does sound like it] Yes in 1992. Garry

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1340880903' post='1710879'] Dirty Reid's cafe [/quote] Is that the same place as the Old Durty Reid's Palace ? I think it got knocked down, or something rebuilt there. Sounds like fun with the sharks though. Garry

Just a heads up for any one Interested. Had and Email from a very good Guitarist friend of mine who lives down in Brighton. I have done many many gigs and sessions with him over the years - and he is superb and well worth a listen. His new band has Guy on Bass - so if you are local get yourself down there if you fancy a good night.

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1340654372' post='1707720'] Stravinsky was a big fan, plus everyone and anyone who came after him and took great influence from him. Leonard Bernstein, John Williams spring to mind. [/quote] Dominant 7th chord, minor 7th b5 chord, 7th b9 chord, and others. You hear these intervals all the time these days, well in Jazz and Cinematic film scores based on the big Symphony Orchestras, and of course wrong notes in Pub Rock Bands... Garry

Another vote for "Four Corners", great stuff. And of course you can't leave out the very first album "YellowJackets" Garry

Thanks for the link Laimis, good stuff. Garry

Dean Markley Mistfits [Skullbusters] 46/66/86/106/135 on my fretted and fretless. Although i have a high tight action they still sing out well, and they are still good on the old slap thing when needed. Garry

Fever, including some of the other versions. Even played solo, just about everyone in the universe knows what it is, apart from Anna Conrad of course. To many for me to list. Garry
