Default Original Boogie Woogie Instrumental in Drop D

'Blame It On The Bass Player.' This was recorded at a concert where the bassist (Larry) that I once played with was in the audience. Up until that evening, I didn't have a name for the song. So just before the show I played it for Larry backstage and he said "why don't you call it 'Blame It On The Bass Player,' because that's what you always did when we played together."

Awesome Toby!

Back in my "band" days I made sure I spread the blame around equally (with the exception of me of course).

Cool song! As another guy named Larry (not a bass player), I'd be happy to take the blame for this

More stellar playing, Toby, I enjoyed very much!

That was terrific, Toby! This tune just makes you want to move. Only wish there was a video to go along with it as you are so much fun to watch.
