    Holy shit man incredible sound! Every musician is incredible! Who are these people? Is the drummer actually throwing his sticks up in the air during a song this complex? And the bass player! What the hell man? This might be the best version of the song!!

I can see his influence. I just take part time 3 or 4 times a year, so it would take me another lifetime to do what Adam has with it. I'm sure you are proud! Keep funkin!! Peace
