Wow. That was nothing short of fantastic Howard. It is a fluid non-stop groove. It doesn’t waver. It knows where it wants to go. And your are a master jockey.

Nice rapport with the audience too.

Hi Sal,
Thank you so much for generous assessment!

I think it's a good example of how much bass players & drummers have affected my musical existence from childhood.

A house concert is almost always my kind of audience, so it's hard to do wrong!

Best,
Howard

So I am just enjoying the heck out it (outstanding BTW) when all of sudden

this pops into my head from out of the cosmos , at the section starting 1:43


Now sometimes ...I don't listen

To my own advice

It just shines ....in reflection

Like moonlight off the ice

Hi Owen,
Glad you enjoyed it!

From my perspective keeping a full groove going throughout would be monotonous, but it's easy to succumb to.

I don't bite those apples.....

The #1 hardest thing I've EVER learned was how to walk away from something that sounded catchy & felt really good to play.

By 'walk away from' I mean: Thinking I've written something. There has to be a bigger picture, and I've taught myself to 'walk away' from that seduction, and keep it in perspective, for the 'greater good'.

It's a lifelong quest, and I hope to get better each time.

I don't blame you one bit for liking it, though:-)

Regards,
Howard
