I played with people who's timing was........ interesting. It turns out that mine is really good, but it took a long time to realise that. I suspected that I was ok on the timing front, but gigging and recording told me different. By now, if stuff is shifting I know it is not me. That is a comfort and a relief. To have the same engineer over a period of 5 years doing different recordings say "I will fix you later Owen" made me believe it was me. Not so. I have been told by someone who actually knows, that actually I put the beat in a sexy place, and that is good enough for me Thanks for letting me share.
