I'm sure this has been posted before, but I hadn't seen it until today. I watch a fair bit of stuff on YouTube and it can get a bit full on, it's pretty rare I can sit and listen to someone talking for that long. Just seemed very genuine.

List of infractions Ms Dorsey incurred. 
- Serves the song? Pah!

- Plays the model of bass the BL wants and doesn’t jack the gig in? 

- Needs lines on a fretless?

- Learns the songs and Writes out charts in several keys “just in case”? 

- Works at getting as close a tone as the original bass recording?

- Isn’t quite sure how active basses work?

- Plays the clarinet?

- Doesn’t really do slap???!!!

Seryasslee who’d hire someone like that? Should’ve been me, I’d’ve shown Bowie/Kravitz my chops on whatever bass I want, so there nerr! 
 

Isn't she just fab 😠😤😡

yours,

bitter of Bath.

she's definately very cool.

I heard a great Radio four interview with her  - she said that she loves guitar best and bass is her professional instrument.

And she said the same in the first minute of this interview.

Well, no-one's perfect!

We have a lot in common.

We're the same age.

She shaves her head - me too (well over the lockdown I did).

She fell in love with Olivia Newton John when she was 14 - what an incredible coincidence, me too.

Her favourite band is the Carpenters - ummm.....not really.

I have a beard - okay, we're not that alike after all.

She's an incredible bass player - ☹️

I loves her 💜

 

I had a wave of sadness wash over me watching that. 

I was thinking how great it is that Bowie steps back and completely let's GAD own that song, wondering how that feels performing it with someone else after having recorded and performed it with the great Freddie Mercury, who he obviously can't duet with anymore. Then I realised that Bowie is gone as well now. 

For some reason I can't get used to the fact that Bowie's gone.

Yes, Gail has been discussed many times here, I think that OP popped up in a thread about SBL most recently.

Anyhoo, I need no excuse to further discuss her work. IMHO, the version below is the de facto version of Under Pressure where she completely rips the song a new one.

Here’s a video of her song Magical which she wrote about Bowie. Just beautiful and has some great backstage clips.

.....and finally and predictably my Marilyn-a-like which I use in ChangesTwoBowie.

Great to see and hear this - I didn't know anything about this.
